INNOCENCE

Where was I,
when life was perceived simple?
When innocence,
was a smile with a dimple.
Where everyday,
felt like Saturday afternoon.
Care-free & comfortable,
far from any doom.
Did I miss it somehow?
Skip past it all?
Fly to the future?
Walk down the wrong hall?
Did the sign say adulthood,
the one I couldn't read?
Did I choose the wrong path?
Plant the bad seed?
Was it my actions,
that turned it this way?
Something I did?
Something I failed to say?
How did it all fall,
on my tiny shoulders?
A million little pebbles,
rolled into the heaviest of boulders.
"It's not my fault!"
I try to convince,
but there's no explanation,
for lost innocence!

You did a phenominal job with this one! I think all of us can relate to this "Do I have to accept reality, or can I just keep being innocent (or naive in it's purest, not necessarily sense).
Great write!

Cutiepie Elmo,
Strangely, this reminds me of a book I'm reading --
The Lovely Bones.

Anyway...
