I used to color neatly within the lines

That are pre-drawn in bold black ink

To control the creativeness in peoples minds

Color skin in peach, boys in blue, girls in pink

Numbers one though nine for all the kinds

So you dont even have to think

But today, an object outside caught my eye

Making my thoughts drift into daydreams

And outside of the lines my colors did fly

To the empty space where nothings as it seems

And everything they pre-drew was a lie

More colors than yellow make up the sun beams

So I take my colors, and explore around

Not caring about the black that kept me confined

My mind started to open, my imagination unbound

My heart beat stronger and my eyes shined

Through this coloring book, life lessons I have found

To live freely with an open mind

And color outside the lines
