sky of grey, sky of blues,
do we truly get to choose,
has the journey been precolored
to the life that we lead,
by destiny's hand
bestowing its seed,

can you draw out the sunshine,
in the depths of the rain,
let go of old demons
which too often remain,

when grey is surrounding,
i succumb to the mood,
then the rainbow reenters,
the fears stay subdued,

must my outlook be contingent
on the colors above,
can i break free of this paralysis ,
and revel in pure love,

deep within darkness,
i know that its there,
for i've seen it in glimpses,
but stoppped short of the dare,

deep rooted scars ;
childhood shrouded in shame,
bear down deeply in somber tones,
relighting its flame,

out on this ledge,
one foot flirts with escape,
one staying centered ,
halting hope's final rape
