In the Gray
It all started years ago
When I decided that I had to let go of my old life
And leave the world of strife
I had to let my life escape me
I had to be free.
Or so I thought.
Truth be told, I was merely scared of all life brought
I didn’t understand that life is a gift worth living for
All I could see was the outline of a door
A door to a different world, one I hoped I’d find a home in
And a world where I could finally belong and crush the solitude that was drinking me up
But before I let myself go, Before I wandered through that door
I stopped and I fell
And as I fell, I grabbed her hand
And she saved me
She brought me in and taught me how to live
She taught me that life was scary and hard
But it was something I could manage
And so, I took that hand and I stopped running
I faced my fear and I have never looked back
She saved my life in every way a person can be saved
She taught me to face the fear
And for that I am forever grateful
Because in the fear
and in the gray
And in the unknown
Is where life is lived
