Grey Heart

My heart is not white nor is it black
Grey heart.
I don’t like this, not at all
Build up a concrete wall.
To keep away the rain
That causes me pain.
I don’t want to cry
I want my cheeks to be dry.

My mind is not weak nor is it strong
Grey heart.
Everything is so wrong
I don't know if I can be strong.
Nothing is good nor is it bad
I don’t wanna be sad.
I wish I was a clown
So I could never be down.

My soul is not pure nor is it evil
Grey heart.
I wish I could stop all these fears
That come along with unending tears.
Everything is left unspoken
That’s why my heart is broken.
I will try to make everything right
And I know it won’t happen overnight.

My smile is not yellow nor is it white
Grey heart.
Do you want to recommend a cure?
To make my heart pure.
My mind is filled with darkness
Leaving no space for brightness.
I need a wall to keep away the rain
That causes me pain.

Hi LINDELWA!!.....I REALLY like the way you formatted this...... with the repetition being on the second line of each stanza..... it's VERY clever and VERY effective in keeping continuity and flow to the whole..... the imagery is creative and helps to keep a kind of naïve tone flowing throughout!!..... well conceived and BEAUTIFULLY delivered!!......ALL STARS!!...... well done dear poet sister!!.... and..... in case no one has said so......WELCOME to COSMO!!......LOVE & ROCKETS!!......T xo ?✴❤
