i never liked crayons

I never liked crayons

I chose pens and pencils

I never drew outside of the lines

I was confined by the lines

I stuck to drawing on papers

I never left my fingerprint on the wall

I wore tights and danced with my hair in a bun

Instead of dancing with my hair out

I spent hours learning keys and theories

Instead of just listening to the music

I cared too much about A's 

Instead of just not giving a damn before it really mattered

I always said my please's and thank you's

I never spoke past my please's and thank you's

I only ever wrote essays

I hated writing

Now that I put the pens and pencils down

Drew past the lines

Painted my bedroom wall

Hung up the ballet shoes 

Put away the sheet music 

Submitted my college transcripts

Forgot to be polite

And enrolled in creative writing

I think I like crayons now
