Broken Crayons Again

Scribble on the walls 
with chaotic lipstick,
or maybe tag 
with fine graffiti markers;

Make it nasty 
or keep it classy;
Pure untamed spirit 
with all of those wild colors;

It doesn’t need clarity 
just some sincerity 
to imprison an emotion 
in an artistic penitentiary;

Led by a compass 
back to where it all started;
Innocence and broken crayons
blend softly into art again.
