Shades of Gray

(sorry for the long wait folks...)

In the lines of time
all fades
falling swiftly back
into another shade
of gray

pushing and struggling
to get through
another day
soundlessly praying

When did it all
lose it's glitter
when did it all
lose it's shine
forgotten now
what we find divine

Drive stifled
motivation
lacking within
only looking for
more ways to lose ourselves
from what may have been

accepting this fate
chained to our rope
sensations lost
of what was hope
who knew that
we would fall into this
who knew that
we would forget out bliss

mantra becoming
we'll try that later
later never comes
and forgetting is easy
all that stays
is shades of gray.
