The Gray Girl

by Samantha   Aug 12, 2005


She lives, in a house
Painted different shades of gray.
Her family, they blend together
With nothing left to say;
It seems, they turned the mute on
And then all walked away,
So she walks through a soulless world
While their silent movies play.
She walks, into a church
Where only church bells ring.
The minister is on mute, too;
No one hears a thing.
The people try to redeem themselves
Through the unheard lyrics they sing,
And they pay their overdue debts to God
With the money that they bring.
So she walks, to a school
Where no one knows her name.
There, there's no variation to the lessons taught;
All the days are the same.
Now she's learned living is her duty,
And nothing's left to gain
Except an appreciation of color
And familiarity with pain.

Signed, with love,
Samantha Tulgetske
