Gray is the color of my pain
Not red, like blood
Not blue, like sadness
Not green, like loneliness
But gray

Gray is the color of a cloudy sky
Even the sun is hiding
Gray is the color of an impure white
Used, faded, tainted, and stained
Gray is the color of silver without it's shine
Of a black which lacks its dignity

When I feel pain
I feel nothing at all
It numbs me

Pain is the passageway to strength
Pain is weakness leaving the body
I will endure this pain
It will not overcome me
I will not turn gray
