As monotonous As life can seem Somehow I still get caught up in it. Or maybe I find it so boring That I tap out of reality And into my imagination. I am a very idealistic person, I’m afraid I may get lost in my ideals. Wouldn’t that make it hard To accept someone for who they are If they didn’t match my ideals? But I don’t actually know what my ideals are. I always thought I was open-minded. Maybe I am wrong. Well, I must be, one way or the other Because one cannot believe both. Or maybe they can. Do shades of grey apply to life As they do to color?
