It's funny.
My eyes see color but my mind sees grey.

It's always been that way: the  colors trying to burst through my retinas...
And failing.
Constantly, terribly, horribly
Failing.
The grey glass is glazed, glued fast eighteen years,
And my mind is used to the gloom.
The lights' vibrancy bounced off it at every turn...
And the lens grew dimmer.

Once the light circulation within is cut off,
The external lights may very well not exist.

So now
The world sits,
Awash in neutral hues.
