Shades of Grey
Shades of Grey
Julie Ann Saavedra
1-9-2010
I don’t like to compromise
I hate the shades of gray
The unrelenting shadows
That never go away
I wish my world was black and white
And all the world around
I wish I had the answers
I wish I was profound
If I was mathematical
The answers never vary
Yet I am philosophical
A burden I must carry.
I wonder why
I wring my hands
Go crazy with solutions
All the while I’m mulling over
Various substitutions
In my cobbled dreams I’m walking
A mile in your stained shoes
I’ve felt your pain
Have you felt mine?
Do you have the right to choose?
Am I too naive?,
Can I really trust?
The media’s flood and noise
Should I slam the door?
Should I open it more?
Enable or destroy?
As I lay awake and ponder
And I face the dark of night
I let the spirit guide me
I will follow towards the light
This world is never perfect
Nor are the shades of grey
But I believe it’s beautiful
To see the world my way
