Grey

And barring my inception,

I have been in this funny shade of grey all my life,

And it was here that I (however vaguely) defined myself.

It was here that my world assumed its color,

My thoughts assumed their precision,

And I let go of my cherished assumptions

It was here that the world overwhelmed me

My conscience got foggy for the better,

And uncertainties flooded me.

It was here that I learnt how to love,

My gods became redundant,

And I threw away my crutches.

And it was here that I learnt how to live,

How to flow despite the flow of life,

And how to feel when the world seemed numb.
