Life’s about broken pencils
it’s not about writing in pen

Life’s about forbidden kisses
it’s not about color or gender

Life’s about dancing in the rain
it’s not about stranger’s glances

Life’s about attention to detail
it’s not about coloring in the lines

Life’s about children’s acceptance
it’s not about adults’ expectations

Life’s about calloused hands
it’s not about painted nails

Life’s about walking barefoot
it’s  not about designer shoes

Life’s about stepping on toes
it’s not about elegant dances

Life’s about untamed singing
it’s not about who’s listening

Life’s about blemishes
it’s  not about flawless skin

Life’s about making mistakes
it’s not about being perfect

Life’s about broken pencils
