Dead Colors

Here's to the crayons that always stay painfully sharp.

The ones that get easily overlooked and never loved.

The colors in the box that aren't even given a chance.

The ones familiar with the certain ache in the heart that comes from not fulfilling their single purpose: to be a crayon.

What are you if you are not fulfilling your purpose?

Dead.

Here is to the dead crayons.

And while the pretty colors are well loved until there's nothing left to love, the tasteless, dead colors stay sharp just waiting, desperately, for a loving soul to revive them.

So Here's to all the other sharp crayons.
