    gray

    When i was a child I saw black and white. Everything was obvious either wrong or right. No arguements, no pros and cons choices were precise. Pure and joyous clarity gave me a simple life. So i grew and learned to face the world living life that way. And now i feel so unprepared 'cause black and white turned gray. My unfaltering vision failed focus left my eyes. Where choices were once obvious I can't tell wrong from right. Because today I am a teenager and nothing's quite so clear. I'm seeing through an adult's eyes a child's biggest fear.

    Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.
