Gray poems

Gray<b> poems
</font></b>started January 24th, 2021

There are<b> poems
</font></b>that are easy to share
that want to be seen-read-heard

then there are other days
when gray skies
reflect my gray disposition

silent be silent
say the critical voices
don't scar the world
with this

and so my mark on this world
has often been
one of absence

but to deny these gray<b> poems
</font></b>is to deny myself
is to deny the crocus
blooming through the snow

for if I don't give expression
to all of it including the gray
then the beauty in me
also stays hidden
unexpressed-unrealized-unknown.

 I have a notebook with unfinished poems in it. I sit down each day to write, and start by paging through this notebook. This poem is a combination of 3 gray poems that I turned past day after day. Now I can move them into the finished (but not quite right) notebook.

I don't like all the prepositions and connecting words, but it's just part of how I am writing currently.

I guess this is part of this grey (I was taught UK spelling for colours ) mood that makes us never be satisfied with some of our facets

 Not every day is sunny
Many are gray
When they are think of the other days
The sun is out somewhere
Gray day will fade away
Sun is warm and bright
To enjoy outside
Gray days can be fun inside if you only let it be.
Look for the silver lining on a gray day

 It’s often difficult to string the satisfying combination of words together whether they are grey or colorful in expression. But once you see it, you will know. Don’t stop and try not to second guess yourself. You’re doing great.
My name is MrWrong and I approved this comment

This poem was a combination of 3 poems pretty much about depression. None of the 3 felt significant to revise and post on their own. It was actually a really rewarding exercise to combine them into this poem, that does feel complete. Always nice to see you here MrW. Thank you for reading and commenting. Hugs.
