Black, White and Grey
In a black and white world everyone is the same,
and everything is normal, so far it sounds kind of lame.
They smile when they're lying,
crying cause they know that everyday they are dying.
They act like how they're suppose to
like puppets on strings and wearing plain masks too.
It seems like almost everyone lives in the black and white,
not me. I'm in the grey and don't worry my bark is worse then my bite.
I enjoy who and what I am, don't know why people must pretend,
i enjoy being myself, I am much contend.
If someone tried to tell me who I should be,
I'd tell them "why wear a mask to cover up who is me."
So i feel no sorrow or pity who choose to live a life with a mask
cause I walk on the grey, such an easier task
No matter where on the grey I walk,
as long as I have my love with me, I shall walk my walk and talk my talk.

Take in the rhythm and insight of your senses,
Have you ever kept something hidden,
about yourself?
Locked it away,
put it on the shelf.
Fearing judgment,
what people might
by Anne Ashley
Be Yourself
Swing your hips to the song in your head
Toss aside the curious looks thrown at you
Bear a smile on that sweet
by Jon Coe
There is only one person in this universe
that thinks the way you do
For better, or for worse
this, is the one and only life,
