I used to have a walk in closet.
It was not large, but that was just fine.
When i was 3 i took a purple crayon
And scribbled across the white wall that
My brain comprehended as a canvas.
4ft by 6ft.
That's about how big the closet was.
White,
White,
White,
Purple.
We never painted over.
When I was 9 I tried once more,
Only to find the purple crayon snapped.
Snapped with bite marks.
They could have simply told me no.
