Shades

by Gav Bryson ‘22

I hate colors Everyone sees them differently some see them the same I hate colors my favorite is gray it represents balance…..but it’s the opposite where i live i hate colors our gray is broken up into shades The light shade is the higher ups who possess the power, the rule makers ...the life takers the darker one jumps high, runs fast, and works twice as hard to get by I hate colors Late at night I cry I hate colors Let me tell you of a shade of gray no one thinks of It had a knife but no intentions to kill Was Stopped in his tracks by a lighter shade Why’d you pull me over sir? I live in a dangerous area simply wanting to protect myself Next thing it knew it was in the back of a van with bumps and bruises Maybe because It had a knife? Or Was it because of the contrast of the shade?? There’s 50 shades of gray this is shade was freddie i pray to God the light shade doesn’t take me before i’m ready I Hate colors
