Grey

Grey is my pain(t)

Smeared on this tain(t)

 

Seeping in(k)

Entanglement be my kin(k)

Now I thin(k)

Soon I will sin(k)

 

My mind ramble(d) on and on

Struggle(d) till I'm almost gone

 

Overused angular frow(n)

Paint over the brow(n)

That had (s)oiled this painting

(Sp)Oiled by sporadic inking

 

The ***** in my skin

Sung of battles that reside (with)in

My armour though(t) sturdy

In(side) I only bury

 

Must...

 

Plan(t) my feet

Swift is my flee(t)

Envision my escape(s)

Beyond the cordoning tape(s)

 

Shed the armour and reveal the s(h)eep

My vulnerability hid(den) deep

Let loose... The courage I hone(d)

Let them be heard... Voices that groan(ed)

 

I await... Patient(ly)

Time I bide... Defiant(ly)

 

Fade(d), bleeding away

Shade(d)... With gloom that stay

 

Grey is my pain(t)

Only colour, tinting my tain(t)
