Oh to be a kid again

Oh to be a kid again
when you could color your house pink
and it didn't matter if your rainbow was 
out of order.

Oh to be a kid again
When you could run through sprinklers
and throw Pokemon down and they thought it was cute.
But five years later and throwing down Pokemon
is considered immature and nerdy.

SCHOOL KILLS CREATIVITY

It started in third grade when my teacher said:
"Why don't you try to color inside the lines
don't you think that would be prettier?"

That's when I started thinking that it was better to
color inside the lines, 
and that it was better to be just like 
everyone else
man was i wrong..





They ask me what my favorite color is
and I reply with
black.

They continue to tell me that
black is a shade not a color.

Just another person telling me that black
cannot be my favorite color,
for it simply is not a color.

Invalidated again
just for being myself.
