Fate

The world collapses

Hopes and dreams built,

shatter.

Expectations and outcomes,

mismatch.

The need and deed,

overlap.

The steady feet
Soon falters.
Staggering steps,
Fail.
Trial and sweat,
Conquer,
Still leaving the insides,
Pale.

Momentary decisions,
Regretted.
Shallow actions,
Unveiled.

Years of regret,
Burdened.
Adds to the latest fate.

Grey

For every truth, there is a lie,
For the shining light, there is a shadow.
For every fact, there is a fallacy,
For every new learning, you unlearn.

But things are not as plain as black and white,
For those born into shades of grey.
Grey is personal and different for each,
Grey is the explanation,
That justifies one's deed.
