The Grey Shades

by Hurtingsoul   Oct 24, 2007


Theres no darkness, theres no light
in the gray shades of life
No one is condemned, no one is saved
No heaven or hell, nor desires that are craved

Theres no wrong, theres no right
The good and the bad don't come out at night
You might have killed, you might have screamed
But in the Grey shades, everything is redeemed

Theres no evil, theres no good
No devils, no gods are true
No demons that destroy and wreck
No angels that guard and protect

theres no lies, theres no truth
no secrets between me and you
you dont deny, you dont believe
things are what you perceive

Theres no black theres no white
Nor colors that are bright
The Grey swallows the dyes
And the colors of our eyes

I live in the Grey shades of life
where Theres no darkness, theres no light
Theres no wrong, theres no right
Not in the Grey shades of life

where Theres no evil, theres no good
theres no lies, theres no truth
Theres no black, theres no white
Not in the Grey...... shades of life

Please comment it would mean alot.. thanks

    Well Written

    You have a VERY well written poem here. My favorite so far. In the first stanza you made grey = gray. So, I'd switch that out. "The Grey swallows the dyes" dyes= dies and the = and. THe reason I changed the to and instead of then is because it flows better. I always thought that and was a better filler than then/than. This is my favorite by you so far. I think it's well written, well thought out, well emotionalized and has good flow.

    There is a lot of power in this piece (: I don't agree with it, but I have definitely felt this way before. I'm sure most of us have. The meaning and imagery behind this is very well written. It really kept me hooked in .. the last two stanzas kind of got weaker for me, but overall a nice piece.

    Keep it up,

    I really love the writing in this - its smooth and flowing and rhythmic. the way you describe your life is pretty original - at first i thought the shades of grey were like when people are on drugs or something, but the way it turned out was really cool . . wish i could describe how i live my life that eloquently!
