Through the clouds we fall.
As our rainbows rip through the atmosphere.
We fall.
We all fall...
sometimes.
Gray influences may weaken and fade our brilliance on the way down.
It cannot be avoided.
We all fall.
Our love strengthens us though we still fall.
pain and suffering may tear through our souls.
Our spirits.
Our dreams.
We have fallen.
Ever falling.
But unfaded.

This poem is to all the gray influences in my life.

I'm really glad. Knowing that I've done something to help anyone makes me feel like I'm doing some things right... When life won't play along, change the rules
