Gray

Why is it always gray?

Sometimes the world just needs to go away

I try, I cry, but the pessimism just stays

I see others laughing, being so positive
Are they just better at hiding their true face?

I've learned how, I smile, I say the right things
but I'm only fooling you and not myself
I know who I am; I've lived with me all my life

Why is it always gray?
Why won't the sadness go away?

I remind myself to appreciate, to enjoy, but deep, deep in my soul
it just stays the color gray
