My World Is Often Gray Poem by Elizabeth Sheaffer

Life should be simple and outlined
Separated into black and white
So we know what's wrong and what's right
But for me the black tends to creep over
And the white starts to overlap
Until everything fades to gray

Life should be simple and outlined
And people should come with a guide
No one should be pushed aside
But for many the black's creeping over
And the white starts overlapping
Until everything fades to gray

Life should be simple and outlined
Emotions should not be so stirring
Or cause events to be disturbing
But the black has crept over
And the white's overlapping
And all has faded to gray
