In the grey

I stayed away
From fear of what I might say
What I might tell you
If I say too much

In all the feels
I feel it all

Progressing
And regressing
At the same time

Part of me is wiser than I know
The other is acting a fool

Let’s be clear
I don’t fear my feelings
I’m just afraid that you don’t feel the same

We are dancing in the grey
Unspoken
Shadows
Maybe it’s best we keep it that way

But what would happen if we don’t

I’m being guided back to myself
To return
To remember that all this is a mirror
That everything I feel is a sign to look
Within
And not at you

That’s all fine and true
But my curiosity gets the better of me
I will always want to know more
Want to see
What is happening in the grey

the spoken word

I conceive these pieces with the beat of my heart,
then birth them with the fire of my voice.
