i lived my life in black and white,
ignoring the shade of gray in between,
and found it empty; incomplete

hate spitting outward,
pride ****** in,
eating away at the bones,
the bones of the high and mighty

killing my pride,
a hand around it's throat,
loving everything- hating nothing,
peace, happiness,
living in full color

i found life full and overflowing;
acknowledging a sea of color and life,
i live my life with a spirit, freed
