Dust

There's no such thing 
as crazy is not sickness.

Conformity is suffocation. 

The pills kill the light, 
all else turns to dust 
and in the rain we all rust.

Lift it up, 
sweep it under, 
show the sun, 
no shame, no thunder. 

God forbid 
the rain should come. 
Can't waste time 
feeling the pain 

pick a box, pick a box 
they're all the same.

Grey.

I really enjoyed this. But I don't understand the J Cole at the end.

This struck several chords with me and thus I like it I especially like "The pills kill the light" that conjures up many images for me, conversely "Cant waste time feeling the pain" is probably something I should think about more however. I look forward to reading more.
