#gray
we saw that everything we had accepted from the small moments returned to us when it set aside a scene for gray-hued images whatever this pain may be it brings itself to us to our region only occasionally without burning us either

gray-hued images
All Storms aren't always hectic, sometimes they are still and calm, they roll through without a whimper, This is the quiet storm, You could sleep through this weather, with no interruptions at all, just like a little baby, as the quiet storm raindrops fall, So, just let the raindrops, rejuvenate your soul, as you rest through the night, letting the frustrations go. become restful, relaxed and restored, Just calm yourself What are you waiting for??? Sleep the night away and by the very next day, Rise and shine Welcoming the bright Sunrays into the heat that is sunny and warm in lieu of the stagnant of the past quiet storm!! B.R. Date: 5/21/2026

The Quiet Storm
We fed on noise until it rotted thought, Our gods were screens that never looked away; We crowned our ruin, pixel-wrapped and bought, Then begged for meaning as it all bled to gray.

There is so much suffering everywhere. I see people who have forgotten happiness. I see people who have abandoned hope. I see people who have lost someone. I see people who just cannot cope. I see all of this and I ask “Why?” Why is there so much suffering and hatred and crime when we all just want happiness and peace? Great wars have been fought and millions of arguments have taken place and I just want to know why we just keep fighting and fighting and fighting. Maybe there is a certain beauty in struggle. Maybe it’s okay not to be okay. Maybe the saying “all is fair in love and war” shows that every day is a new day. In a world without black and white, someday we will be okay. Because the real truth about this world is that there are only shades of gray.

Shades of Gray
"I hate that thing when people are like, 'Oh, you’ve worn that shirt before.' Like, no **** I bought the shirt. And the amount of times I have to tell people, 'Have you heard of a washing machine?' "I love being dramatic because why would you ever deal with any emotion in a logical way when you could have the option of absolutely losing your mind?" "I've been in love with a lot of people. Have they loved me back? That's the real question and the answer is no" "I'd rather just be dehydrated. Life was fine when I was dehydrated I think about it daily to excuse my own dehydration" "I feel terrible, I feel like I'm dying. I wonder why? Oh, because all I've had all day is like almonds and a cup of coffee, so that's why you feel like you're dying, Conan." "It's so embarrassing to be alive! Like, the fact that you have to look at me? And I have to look at you? It’s just so awkward." "APPOLLLL HAVE YOU? HAVE YOU EVER HAD AN APPOL??"

Conan Quotes because he is therapy
—The Fear of White— I want to paint the way I truly wish to paint. She tests me gently. “Then why not paint on a white canvas?” Her eyes sink deep into the center of my thoughts— as if asking if I’m ready. “Everyone will see you, every corner of you, even the parts you never wanted to show. Are you sure you’re okay with that?” A chill runs through me. It’s frightening. No one would really help me, not when it matters— even if many swear they would. “Look,” she says, pointing to a canvas nearby. I follow her finger. Gray covers it so heavily I can’t make out anything at all. She continues, “People say we should protect those who paint on white. Yet they stay hidden in gray themselves.” I stare at the canvas. Some must have been forced into white without ever wanting to be. In a world like this, if you don’t match the colors around you, you stand out too painfully. I need to protect myself— the words slip out before I even realize it, shaking with fear.

A World Painted Gray III
—The Reason for Gray— “Why is everything covered in so much gray?” She answers softly, “Because seeing too much can be dangerous.” “Why dangerous?” She pauses— as if choosing her words. “Because that’s what everyone wanted.” “…Why?” “A picture too clear is hard to handle.” “Why hard?” “If you make one mistake, it all comes crashing down. So we hide it in gray, smooth it over, make everyone look the same.” Her voice stays gentle, as though trying to help me understand. “It’s better that way. For everyone.” —And yet, I feel something tighten deep in my chest. I don’t like it. And quietly, with whatever little strength I have, I resist.

A World Painted Gray II
We draw, erase, and draw again. We adjust and correct, painting what little time allows. When the work is done, a life takes shape on the surface— quiet, unmistakable. In that wide room, canvases lie scattered: some swept in bold arcs, others measured in threads of precise lines. Each one, utterly its own. Yet I wonder. Children drip color into everything, but as we grow older a gray undercoat settles, softly smothering the hues we still carry. That satisfied smile of yours— is it truly real? Behind the gray, your colors barely reach the light.

A World Painted Gray
I close my eyes, the world feels gray, my heart beats strong, yet drifts away. I am falling through the atmosphere, reaching for wisdom that feels near. Days turn to riddles shaped by light, hope and fear stay close in sight. Each breath becomes a quiet prayer, I learn to trust the unknown there. Though trembling I loosen my tight hold, Letting life guide me gentle and bold. It whispers softly you are here, even while fallin thru the atmosphere.

Atmosphere
She spoke of silver in my hair, A tarnished crown she couldn’t bear. If grief has painted strands with time, Then moons must fault for nights sublime. Each tear I shed spoke of my loss, Each dream a wake beneath its gloss. Reprove my truth? Oh, let it stay, We’ll echo dusk, both turned to gray.

Gray Together
I feel more lonely when she's around Than I do by myself I can't make it make sense And I can't put it on a shelf It splits me in half and destroys both pieces I can't answer why I stay It's neither love nore is it fear This is life in the gray ©2025

~•§•~ Life in the Gray ~•§•~
Rainy days are about as good as any, It's a little gray and dreary, But I love the sound of trickling drops. She does too, I love the rain, When I'm with you.

Rainy Days With You
It's perfect, My life. Not a single worry to be found. But when will it all fall apart? When will I bolt out of bed And realize it was never real? This life of smiles And laughter It’s too perfect. And feels too real, Even as the corners fade to black. Convinced: Not awake, I know I'm dreaming. But the thing I dread most… Is waking up. How much longer do I have before the hourglass is empty? How much farther can I tread before the road ends? Not far, it seems. The alarm screams at 6 am. The fever dream shatters, As I grasp at the jagged pieces. I am dragged through my existence In this dreary, gray world. Until I fall back asleep.

Wake up
You haven’t sung this song for some time The pain returns tears well up in your eyes You’re writhing like twisting, turning, treetops in a storm No comfort coming your way Just endless waves of torn You’ve got no time for this but time is all you have left The disease is torturing you to Death You give it nothing but it takes it all your breath Your insanity wrecks havoc on you Day and Night Your lovely soul keeps you in the fight Don’t let a pirate in the night steal you blind You’ve everything and nothing to lose Dark machinations it has for you Gray glowing moon No more Silver Spoon Twisting turning room for you The Demon returns until Balance you earn Steady your rudder Hands upon the wheel Find your center and Victory you shall steal

Steady
Feelingless eyes flicker through the streets. They see cars moving around. Their owners blend with the vehicles until society becomes nothing but a uniform machine. A uniform, lonely, horrible machine. Everything          becomes     gray.

Going gray
I told my soul to rest to let your absence be But why this constant falling make this soul's insanity Each glimpse, a bitter nectar a joy that cuts like pain How do I unweave this feeling? This feeling of consuming chain I've waited through the silence Where dreams have turned to gray Now I'm steeped in blue, where longing holds its sway.

Paradox
Well I'm sure, These rainy days won't stay forever. There's not a chance, Clouds are big enough to hold that much. So that is how I know, The sun will come out and melt this snow!

Rainy Days Don't Last
I get excited for another ride On the bus of life we go The limit of the view is my sight The end of the road is death, Or at least as far as i know But the colors of the city dried out They look faint, They're ugly and bold But how old am i to think that how many lies I've been told Since when did my sight go bad Since when I've lost all hope Since when did the city go gray Since when did the sun get old The bus of life wont wait for me but i have no reason to go The colorful city stays bright But i can't see anything, I can't let go

The Gray Colorful city
The weather is important when writing a play, Such is when Romeo and Juliet was shown, It was a cold and raining day. So the audience would forget about the heat, Off in fair Verona had Shakespeare failed, To keep mention of the begrudging summer.

Shakespeare's Weather
What do you see when you look my way? Do you see me, or do you see something else? Do you see all the imperfections I possess? These imperfections make me feel less. Like the shell of a girl in a picture frame. Do you see what I see in the mirror looking back at me? A body, all deformed but shapely; this body has had two beautiful babies. What do you see when you look at my face? Do you see the unevenness of my eyebrows and the squint in my left eye? Maybe there are enough glasses for it to hide behind. Do you see the freckles splattered on my face? The sun hasn't been gentle on this aging face. What do you see when you look at me? Do you see my darkened eyes, so deep and dark that the colors almost don't shine? Do you see this hair? It's starting to thin with little strands of gray. What do you see when you look at this aging woman who is almost forty years old? Maybe…me?

What do you see?
Somebody tell the sky, That it doesn’t have to be gray, If it doesn’t want to anyways. It’s awfully hard, To rain on someone’s parade, If the sun is shining through you. Even when your curtain is closing, That’s no reason for you, To not give the best finale you can.

Good Morning Gray Sky
Oh dove, oh dove from yonder oak tree. Hearken your eyes to gaze upon me. Lend thy wings, in which grant you flight. So that I might gaze down at the world tonight Soar with me, in clouds of gray. The two of us, together, searching for the suns ray. Oh dove, oh dove from yonder oak tree. Grant me courage, so that I may not flee Give me hope, and the power to do what's right. For right now, I wave a banner of white. so grant me  solace, and sleep on this day. Oh dove, oh dove perched high on the oak, I hope you stay.

Bonjour Gray Man, What is on the menu for breakfast today? A black coffee and a plate of blueberry jam, On plain white bread. A blueberry, for the blue in you, Coffee and bread, because you find it tasty. Gray Man of Paris, What's here that you fancy? What led you to leave to shaded land, Of pencil-paper men? Was it a secret love of bright colors, That you look so dreary against? Well salut Gray Man, Enjoy breakfast in the colored land.

Gray Man in Paris
It’s dry and still in the house this afternoon, The way houses are at 4:00 in December. I feel a little itchy and claustrophobic, Sitting on the floor. I hate this ******* carpet. Berber. I know you love me, But sometimes I wish you would let me destroy myself completely. Darkening winter gray settles over us in a dull film, Berber carpeting the world. It seeps into the house through cracks in the doorframe you kicked down when we were locked out that night. Into me too, coating my brain and joints and dreams in liquid fog. The streetlights will be dark awhile yet. Cotton ***** fill up my mouth And I’m fine, just fine. My grandmother’s favorite color was gray before people awarded points for such things. It’s nearly night, now, and the sky swirls with peek a boo pink and blue where the clouds are thin and blowing. No streetlights yet. The shadows gather at their feet. I pull out the spaghetti; Time to start dinner.
