The Gray

A breath in, a breath out

This is where I'm at peace

Neither light nor dark

Though both remain a part of me.

I tried to live in only one

but it was torture to my soul.

I tried to feel lifted

But then, found no place to go.

Here I feel embraced

by both parts of myself.

A perfect mixture

of what you'd call heaven and hell.

But I don't call them that

Not ever anymore.

I just call it me

in my purest form. 

A foot in the dark

A foot in the light.

For once in my life

Everything seems right.

Embracing that power

Where black and white blend.

Allowing my emotions there

And finally beginning to mend.

This isn't where I kneel

I stand and I am brave.

This is the purest me

When I'm standing balanced in the gray
