Sometimes when I look outside, And see the Sun drowned by dark clouds, I can’t help, But feel my mood being dragged down. Some days are shrouded in a, Monochromatic shade of grey, And at times, while it might not be ideal, It’s okay. The Sun will find its time to shine someday. However, When that melancholy grey takes over, I can feel my heart take a dive, Darker thoughts creep into my mind. “Are you being proficient at life? Or are you wasting your time? Your accomplishments mean slim to none, In the grand scheme. It won’t help you run, From the inevitably closing gap between, You and responsibility.” It comes fast, It lasts, It doesn’t just come to pass, One lap. It stays, And it won’t ever go away. Oh, what thoughts can be stirred from a monochromatic shade of grey.

Monochromatic Shade of Grey
Sometimes when I look outside, And see the Sun drowned by dark clouds, I can’t help, But feel my mood being dragged down. Some days are shrouded in a, Monochromatic shade of grey, And at times, while it might not be ideal, It’s okay. The Sun will find its time to shine someday. However, When that melancholy grey takes over, I can feel my heart take a dive, Darker thoughts creep into my mind. “Are you being proficient at life? Or are you wasting your time? Your accomplishments mean slim to none, In the grand scheme. It won’t help you run, From the inevitably closing gap between, You and responsibility.” It comes fast, It lasts, It doesn’t just come to pass, One lap. It stays, And it won’t ever go away. Oh, what thoughts can be stirred from a monochromatic shade of grey.
There's something about prolonged cloudy weeks that both drag my mood down and makes me feel at peace. Another strange paradox of mine.
