My life is like a box of broken crayons...
                My Crayon Box is tattered and full of broken pieces..          
                   Colors are missing and I'm not sure where they've gone...
                   Or how I may have lost them....
                   But they are not here any more.

                   Some were my favorites,
                   Special ones that I loved so much
                   If you look inside my box now there are spaces
                   Empty places where they once stood.

                   
                   Those that remain are all the colors of the rainbow
                   but they're worn, small and broken.
                   They do still work however.
                   When you put them to paper the colors still appear.
                   Although they're somehow dull, lifeless and not as vibrant as they once were.

                 I remember the pictures that I created when my box was full and new.
                   They were beautiful, soaring, epic and all full of love.
                   Love...
                   God how I miss those days.
