Veil of Gray

ALL is done for me, I've lost my game of life,
I've no worth and I guess I shall live my rest in rife
"Hey leave me 'lone & carry on with yaself!
 Y'understand huh?!" I say to my kin
"Oh! I could have made it beautiful"
"Wowowoohoo! I had my Elixir plentiful!
Oh yeah!"
But I let it stay,
Hid it in my Veil of Gray
Hey!
Hidden in my Veil of Gray
The evils of this world misguided me,
I could've stayed safe, on my way
You fill some more pockets of yours they say!
"Leave your way aside and run!
Where you can fill those pockets of yours!"
And then I paused,
And Changed my way.

And Now here I stand,
Belittled by the same world
