I once embraced this world<\/p>\n
sharp and pointed.<\/p>\n
My prestige label covered me.<\/p>\n
I was the fresh wax scent<\/p>\n
of a brand new box.<\/p>\n
When you took me out<\/p>\n
I engaged with paper<\/p>\n
like butter does to bread.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s me a precise colorization,<\/p>\n
my known popularity.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m #000000 Black inside<\/p>\n
16, 24, 32, and 64 count boxes.<\/p>\n
Crayola, never RoseArt or Cra-Z-Art<\/p>\n
imitations.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m the real deal.<\/p>\n
The eminence of the coloring world.<\/p>\n
You can\u2019t color without me.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Then, my point got broken<\/p>\n
flat-headed I still filled in and drawed.<\/p>\n
Eventually I ended up on a preschool<\/p>\n
classroom floor where I was ripped<\/p>\n
naked of my grey wrapper,
\nstepped on, and broken.<\/p>\n
I ended up in brokenness<\/p>\n
of a broken crayon drawer.<\/p>\n
Melted I blended in with a few friends<\/p>\n
of shades no one ever gave us any names for.<\/p>\n
Now I sit with other crayons and candles remains.<\/p>\n
A far cry from Easton, Pennsylvania<\/p>\n
the Crayola Factory I was made.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
