"You'll learn from them - if you want to. Just as someday, someone will learn something from you. It's a beautiful, reciprocal arrangement. And it isn't education. It's history. It's poetry." ~As said by Mr. Antolini, Catcher in the Rye, JD Salinger


Black and White
Those shades of grey
Those shades define the nonexistent,
That which cannot be obtained

Existing in the human soul
No colors, no light
Just the dark and the bright
For better or worse,
Those rules of society
Are always black and white

Love and hate
Black and white
Pain and pleasure
Black and white
Depression and joy
Black and white

And so, my friend
Why can’t you see?
There are no colors within humanity

Until this can change
Conformity shall reign
Until that black and white
Fades to vibrancy

It seems like there are only ever two sides to every argument. To be in the gray area is to face loneliness.
