Innocence: A Question

Innocence isn't just a

Thought

Theory

Feeling

State of Mind

Age

Lack of Knowledge

Purity

Cleanliness

Innocence is more

So much more

Than I ever believed it was

Or could be

 

I grew up

Maybe a little too fast

And all at once

And where I once was

Innocent

Innocent

Innocent

My mind grew

And expanded

And now I know

Of many many things

I wish I didn't

And no longer am I

Innocent

Innocent

Innocent

But I lack the

Thought

Theory

Feeling

State of Mind

Age

Lack of Knowledge

Purity

Cleanliness

Of

Innocence

That I yearn to have once again

But will never have again

Because once Innocence is lost

It cannot be found

Ever

Again

And you are forced

To sit

And see

And observe

The innocence around you

And mourn over

Your very own

Innocence

Which

Is

Long long

Gone.
