though innocence gone
Poem, inspiration, motivation, encouragement. Let's strap on the calendar change because reflective.
when innocence was
the world seemed lighter, hopeful
when worries did not plague me
the world seemed brighter, happier
that was fleeting
the world's facade was then lifted
revealing the rotten and disturbed
then the world felt darker, colder
though innocence gone
the world is still light with hope
the worries can be lessened, dulled
the world can be brighter, happier
won't stay fleeting
the facade lifted, the truth is
the world is neither light or dark
But lots of different colours, tones
