What's your favorite idea? Mine is being creative

Do you remember me? I was there in your room

I was there in your room when you felt happy; I was there when you felt sad

I was there when you needed graph paper; I was there when you needed to draw

So why did you throw me out when I ceased to become useful?

Is that all I am to you?

Remember that picture?

The one that you drew for your first-grade crush?

You thought she liked it?

Don't make me laugh

You'll find it in the dumpster if you look hard enough

But don't hold it against me, please

for all I'm doing is teaching you what I was taught.

I was taught that creativity is frowned upon

I was taught that children don't matter to adults

I was taught that hard work doesn't always pay off

I was taught that the only thing a person needs is power

I was taught fear

Now lets all agree, to never be creative again~!
