Crayon

--

Just a child,

Precious child,

Lost to the world…

-

Just a dream,

Just a haze,

Coming unfurled.

-

Pick a color,

Force a smile…

Just a little while…

It's only a little while…

-

Longer.

Stronger.

-

Purple or pink,

More Innocent,

Than Ink.

-

Choose your device,

To Change,

The World.

-

Scribbles,

On Paper.

-

Ill written,

The Feel isn't…enough.

-

Tell me your secrets,

Over our…stick figure revelation.

Can't you see me through the Blue,

It's just another depredation.

-

So, I'll smile if you let me,

If only for the green you use.

And I'll try if you push me,

But we're all gonna lose.

-

That's just the way it is.

Because we're,

Just a child,

Lost in a sea of mist.

-

Changing the world,

Impossible?

Just a girl,

Crayon in hand…

-

Can I sketch a better picture,

With element'ry tools,

Because the eyes I use,

Aren't tainted by fools?
