The Grey In Between

The grey in between,
is where we will be,
we who choose to think,
we who choose to bleed.

We who choose to fight,
only to exist,
only to be unknown,
only to persist.

Only to evolve,
only to grow,
only to be in the now,
only to be in the know.

Yes we choose to bleed,
bleed in our denial,
we defend our own,
trial after trial.

Yes we choose to fight,
yes we choose to think,
yes we are a threat,
to all that you believe.

We aren't the colors of the rainbow,
we aren't the comfort that you need,
we are the shades of grey,
hiding in between.
