When Sketching, Use Pencil

How do you sketch out how your life will be

You can start with an outline; don't just wait and see

To add more to this sketch, be sure to you a pencil

Or at least washable ink and don't use a stencil

Otherwise you'd be just like all the other fools

Who take out their permanent markers and tools

They're rendering themselves helpless

Life is guaranteed to change

For better or worse, it will rearrange

So just when you think your drawing is ready

To add the deep shading; you think life is steady

And all the watercolor paints you want to use to add spice

Always hoping for things to come out so very nice

No finishing touches will you be able to add

The smiles, the good times don't always outweigh the bad

On the opposite end of the spectrum you'll find

The change is good and you won't really mind

The outline you sketched at the beginning of time

The one you believed had reason and rhyme

Needed an eraser to make it have good sense

It needed to be bigger; it needed more resonance

They say that some things can be larger than life

What could be larger than life without strife
