Shades of Gray

The shades of colors all around me

So beautiful

So bright

But there's one spot of gray

So boring

So dull

The noise keeps getting farther away

I get farther away

The colors begin to fade

Going from vibrant colors

To blacks, grays, and whites

I seem to become just a shadow

Left out, alone

I remember that I used to be the center

The brightest of them all

But over the years I have faded

Becoming my own island

Separate from everyone else

I know who I am

But I feel like shadow

Following in the footsteps of everyone else
