Boredom filled days,
Everything drowning in gray,
All color begins to slowly seep away,

But I fight it,
Imagining colors where there are none,
I take up my paint like arms in hand against the dull gray of life,

Life has to be interesting,
For it to be worth living,
So the war rages on everyday,
The battle between repetition and finding something new amongst it.

Learn  to appreciate,
Appreciate that way the sunlight hits that leaf you've never really noticed,
Appreciate the smile on a loved ones face,
As you look up,
Appreciate that particular shade of blue or pink or orange that's in the sky,

Because that's where the color of life lies,
The color is hidden in details you never deign to notice,
It is in the things you look at but do not see.
