BLACK-AND-WHITE

I miss the black-and-white world

where judgment is easy

and justice is a tool for vengeance


but at some point I strayed

over a line and found myself

praised for what I failed at


and blamed for what I did right

there's a reason I keep

my own thinking to myself


just walking out in the open

is both good hiding and an invitation

to catastrophe at once


and my occupation of the gray zone of some void

is no help or pardon...
