Gateway Title Colors Outside The Lines

Coloring outside the lines is scary business
Sometimes, I don't have the courage for it all.
On my big, bold days though, I like to let my red crayon
just swirl out there with my purple, streaking across the page...
in perfect freedom no lines!
Coloring outside the lines is lonely too.
I'm the only one that doesn't get a gold star on my paper.
The teacher frowns. The kids call me weird or dumb or stupid.
Don't they see? I'm not behind them.
I'm actually out in front. Running free, outside the lines!

It would be nice if I had a friend that would color outside
the lines, sometimes, too
Will you?
