Grey

The city sleeps
and the dizzy lights are exhausted
almost faint and eager to shut down for that day

He walked, in silence, because words had hurt him so much
Sometimes silence was unbearable,
his head was filled with voices, his own
that wouldn’t give him rest

He had no direction; he just wanted to walk
The colourless streets gained life under his feet
His steady pace, encouraged them to grow green
As if Nature was gaining, beating the grey and firm cement

Every time he looked back, he recognized his home
as his steps turned everything so green and familiar
The past was chasing him, and all he wanted was to run away

Where are you going lone walker, what do you seek?
I seek another world out of this colourless one
Look behind, don’t you recognize it?
Yes but I’d rather my eyes were blind
Such perfection confuses my senses

Nowhere was his place
A black hole was not fit enough to be accepted by him
He had the whole world inside him

You, that run away from yourself
Will soon realise there is no such world
The world is inside you and all you see is an elusive
mere representation of your thoughts and beliefs
A sensational outer space that feels real

So, he kept running way from himself…
