"In the long run, we shape our lives, and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility." ~Eleanor Roosevelt


It was all fine then,
Everyone smiled,
Everyone were friends,
Everyone colored,
And it was ok to color out of the lines

One day at school,
I managed to write my name,
Carefully scribbled,
Onto thick lined paper,
My mom smiled,
Hung it up on the refrigerator

People cared,
Cared about life,
Cared about friends,
Cared about me,
And it was ok to color out of the lines

One day after school,
I brought home,
A perfect score math test,
100 simple questions,
Answers scribbled onto a print out,
Addition and subtraction
My mom smiled

It was still ok,
Ok to trip over your feet,
Ok to wear the wrong clothes,
Ok to be yourself,
And it was ok to color out of the lines

One day after school,
I figured out,
That I got all A’s,
Perfectly printed onto,
