let's chalk it up to teenage angst

gray

feel the gray coming
moving slowly
but inevitably
it's twisted past your defending fingers
into your chest
let it turn darker
it's harder to talk
let it turn black
then pull it from your chest
wrap it around your hand
focus
change the color
a grey you can handle
pull it to peacock blue
roll it between your hands
tease it like play dough
change it to a color
that doesn't drain you
make it change colors
until it is good
