This Place of Grey

In this place of grey
 I fight to bathe in the light
The cloud of fear
 Expands and contrasts
Never bursting
 It lingers
It looms
It shades my reflection
Moving across my face
Hiding the darkness
Illuminating the sadness
Moments of laughter
 Moments of joy I
try to hold on
I try to embrace
 I try to feel
But the cloud just lingers
 The cloud just looms
A spectator I become
Wanting to laugh
So the actor takes the stage
 In this place of grey
The white becomes black
The black becomes white
As the rain falls
I bleed grey
Watching my life move
Without a starring role
With the cloud always lingering
With the cloud always looming
My place has become
This place of grey
