Innocence
April 4, 2012
Playing with toys
Talking in a voice no one understands
Everyone Crowding Around
Spoiling You, Protecting you
When you do something bad
Or get in trouble
You get scolded
And forgiven instantly
But as you grow up it gets harder
You get in trouble
And they don’t forgive as easily
Your innocence disappears
You have more responsibilities
You have expectations
You get crushes
You go to parties
You stay out late
You make mistakes
But life goes on
You learn from failure
You fall in love
...But I guess that’s just growing up
