"Black and White Days"

 

"Black and White Days"

Greg Budig 2020

I sometimes wonder 

about these black 

and white days. 

Days of forgotten 

ambitions.  You 

thought you could 

get something done. 

But you were wrong. 

Starting with the 

most basic ideals. 

Trying to get back 

on track again. 

 At least clean up 

last nights dishes, 

or put away weeks 

of clean clothes. 

But the black and 

white days can 

be persistent,

even after you

said that things 

would be okay. 

You still find yourself 

staring into space. 

Feeling so stranded on 

these black and white days. 

Wishing you could just 

simply explain. You 

know what you want, 

but lose your grip on 

the reason. Sleeping 

and still wide awake. 

Someday they'll be 

over and you won't 

need excuses. You won't 

have to feel tired all 

the time. The black and 

white days will then be a 

memory. The black and 

white days will be gone. 

The End
