When you're a kid,

You colour with reckless abandon.

You colour outside the lines.

You colour how you feel.

Blue elephants,

Purple trees,

Red bears,

Green oceans--

It's all good.

As you get older,

Though everyone tells you

to stay inside the lines,

To colour everything

Just like you see it.

You end up painting by numbers--

Whether you actually paint

Or whether you write

Or sing or dance or act

Or direct.

I think you should create

What you feel.

Create outside the lines.

I want to watch green oceans and

Red bears.

I'd love to listen to the purple

Trees.

And I long to read

Blue elephants.

.WROSMTH.
