Keeping Track of My Colors

If I were in a box of crayons I don't know what color I'd be I want to be something rare and cool That exudes great beauty If I were in a box of crayons I'd definitely be white I'm the most classy but of course I won't put up a fight If I were in a box of crayons I'm sure that I'd be black We all know that saying, once black No going back If I were in a box of crayons I'd be cool like gray I'm not a person that is Molded of clay If I were in a box of crayons I'd surely be brown For I'd be the one turning Smiles into frowns If I were in a box of crayons I'd be fiery scarlet My blazing personality would Make everyone forfeit If I were in a box of crayons I be beautiful burgundy You know I'd never, ever Let someone hurt me If I were in a box of crayons I'd be the sagacious red For my sense of humor would Bring everyone dread If I were in a box of crayons I'd be very pretty pink Not all bubbles are stupid I'd prove I could think If I were in a box of crayons I'd be oh so silly purple For my crazy sense in humor Is like Steve Urkel's If I were in a box of crayons I'd be a deep indigo For I'm sure that none could leap as far As I could go If I were in a box of crayons I'd be a soothing blue Since I am so happy So should you If I were in a box of crayons I'd be like Turquoise But that's my sister's name That's her voice If I were in a box of crayons I'd be luscious green Because all friends need someone On which to lean If I were in a box of crayons I'd love to be lime Everyone laughs with me All of the time If I were in a box of crayons I'd be bright yellow Cause I truly am A jolly little fellow If I were in a box of crayons I'd be a magnificent peach For no one can resist my charm while I sit on a beach If I were in a box of crayons I'd never be orange For I have nothing to rhyme with That stupid, annoying orange! ~Reecie

It's not as bad as you seem to think,there are millions who could not have expressed it as you have.And if you must know,writers are their own worst critic.Keep up the good work, as I rather enjoyed myself. Cecil
