Life is such a strong word
It encompasses the sweetness like the droppings from a honeycomb
The slapping edge of the sour taste
That makes the whole body quiver and shudder
While the eyes water in protest
The biting bitterness of the surface that makes us throw up copious amounts of saliva
Leaving an aftermath of nausea crippling our guts.
Life is a summation of both the good and the bad
The tainted and untainted
The pure and the Rusty stains of our struggles seared deep into supple flesh

Some say life is grey, so unsure, caught between light and darkness
A mirror of confusion
Others say it is black
Thick like lead and as dark as coal
Every shade of darkness peculiar to a specie
Few say it is white
Untainted, pure, innocent
It’s brightness utterly brilliant it dazzles the human eyes.
I say life has no colour
Whether grey, dark or white
Life takes the colour you give it
For you are the painter, the canvas is laid bare before you
The brush is your hand and with firm strokes, you give color to your life.
