i don’t know how else to live

to be stuck in the gray
in a space that so clearly illustrates
black and white

in a space where gray
is used to invalidate
those who truly fall
in the black and white

where gray is not allowed to exist
because of an existing binary fight
that simply you MUST be
on one side,
and you cannot be,
statistically
in between
