Broken Crayons
as a young child
you don’t understand
the cause of broken crayons
is from your hand
you push hard to make it dark
you have to learn over time
making a picture dark
doesn’t color any line
so your mommy tries to tape them
and that color just wont work
like it did at first
taping a crayon is not something new
my mommy taped my crayons
when I broke the color blue
I thought I would be smart
and I tried to use some glue
but that didn’t work either
before I know it, I had broken two
if you learn to color gently
your crayons will last
then taped crayons will be a thing of the past
