Markers stain
Stain your skin
As you write and write

Pencil lead
Rubs your hand
Darkening, nearly black

Crayons stay
The only one
To always be on paper

But markers
They're always chosen
The prettiest of the pack

Your skin drinks
It drinks the ink
Colored for days and days

And markers
Forever colored
Will always be second
To electronics
