It's gray outside today

the sky is two shades away

from being black

I take a step back

Rain isn't falling from the clouds

thunder doesn't boom loud

lightning doesn't slay

so I turn on my feet and run away

everybody around has joy

every girl and every boy

smiling ear to ear

all smothered in a gray smear

the sun is up today

illuminating the sky of gray

but the sun is just hot air

An inky blackhole without a care

I try to shake off the gray

and focus on my play

five minutes slide by

and i'm still gray inside

A butterfly flutters past

a sight that doesn't last

for behind it's gray cloth

the butterfly is nothing but a moth

everybody compliments the weather

shedding their jackets of leather

admiring the gray on the trees

a gray they prefer to call green

Nobody else cares about the gray

for them it has already faded away

breaking free of the gray from their minds

well maybe im just colorblind
