"To think that gray areas exist in life
Is a romantic view"

But I have to disagree
Gray areas are far from romantic
Far from pie-in-the-sky thinking

I believe life consists of three shades
Black, white, and gray
Two shades suit a situation

While the last one suits others
Or in a special case
The shades are interchangeable

A sweet, sweet friend was hanging by a thread
And while she was struggling from the effects
Of a sudden recovery

Struggling to deal with the escape
From a bleak space
The people close to her

Had already shaded her struggle
I shaded it gray
While others may have been thinking in black

Or white
A scenario like that is hard to color
The point of this PSUEDO-intellectual

PSUEDO-deep piece of writing is
These two beliefs can actually co-exist
And they should not be exclusive [comments] => 2 [counter] => 223 [topic] => 21 [informant] => TheForgottenMelody [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )

well i like to see things in color
i do understand the black and white and gray analogy
but
colors are emotions and that is how I see the world
with emotion
good write
