In the gray

Life is all so strange. Easy to end.
Cheating doesn’t help. Easy to lose.
But it gets you further. Hard to take.
Everything is gray. Hard to handle.
Changing all the time. Hard to hold.
Always growing bigger. Easy to miss.
Gray gives way to white.
White gives way to black.
Black gives way to gray.
Gray breaks through again.
Always gray.
Never changing.
Always gray.
