Beating hearts and gleaming eyes,
concoctions of simple and naive.
Beautiful faces and experimental styles.
So untouched by reality and its gifts.
So full of life and trust.
The young mind still only sees demons and goblins under the bed-
no metaphoric ghosts rimmed with goodbyes and regret.
Following rules and begging for freedom,
but so unaware of the time passing.
Catastrophe, tragedy, and insanity doesn't faze the adolescent eyes,
just brings lack of knowledge and confusion.
