The Grey

There’s hope for the future

The light- it is there.

But light causes shadows

So I must be aware.

The void won’t consume me

I’ll force it away.

It might linger about me

But I’ll keep it at bay.

I won’t let it control me.

I won’t let it cling on.

I’ll slip from their grasp

And sprint toward the dawn.
