Shades of Grey

by Rona   Jan 13, 2007


Walking along shattered dreams,
They are heading nowhere.
Sleepless nights and tired bodies,
Yet they do not seem to care.

They curl up inside,
Drowning in a pool of fears.
No emotion from the surface,
Even with the weather so fierce.

Hand reaching out to you,
As they beg for change.
You look at them
As if they were strange.

These lifeless shells walk among us.
Seeking for shelter from the pain.
Entranced by hopeless wishes,
Heart broken and covered in stain.

They are living but truly dead.
Lost in this world with nothing to say.
Wisdom disappears from their eyes,
Because all they see are Shades of Grey.

***Note: For those who aren't quite sure what this is about, it's about the homeless.

    This really is a heart wrenching write that makes you stop and think about all the homeless. You truly possess a lot of talent when it comes to the written word. Another astounding piece. I particularly liked these lines, they cut right to the soul.
