Into Gray

I'm in a world of black and white.
Gray walls, gray ground, gray sky.
I strive for color, for vibrance.
I'm new to this world of bland misery.

I had been in a world of joy.
The walls were colorful, the ground was green,
The sky was blue,
And all was well.

I used to be a vivid shade of violet,
Deep and true.
Now I'm fading...
Fading... fading...

into gray.
