I find chasing sunlight on barred windows fleeting,
My living room,
The room I'm locked in by my own self-doubt
Barely catches the sunlight anymore.
Shades of grey however frequently painted
In shadows along the cracked,
Shabby, council walls of my one bedroom flat.
Do what they must to depict the TV misery
Consuming me with its slow, stare.
I watch the sun pass by for hours.
Life fleetingly escapes my thoughts,
Floating along a river of monotony,
Even the Christmas tree hides itself,
In a dust ridden corner.
Tea-bag, tear-stained shades of Grey,
It does leave its bitter taste.
