When it was just a though not even assembled.

When life seemed to fall right into place.

We all figured we would grow up to be successful.

When A's were easier to get and things were less complex to understand.

When we didn't know the difference between love and like.

When attraction was just a smile and a laught.

All the things were so beautiful and sweet.

When we though missing the saturday morning shows was sad.

This inncocense was so sweet, it was oh so simple.

Now it's complex and  difficult.

There's so many different things.

Depression, Anxiety, Homicide, Suicide, Illness, Death

Now it's all catagories lingering at one though.

This innocense is all a thing of the past,

It's no longer happy. it's no longer just sad.

Now we fall and stumble and stab each other in the back.

Before we took each others crayons and shared a treat.

Now we're stealing spouses, and sharing HIV.

How sad things have come to,

How memories are just that.

We can no longer relive our innocence.

We can only hold ourselves back and hope we don't make the same

mistakes that bring missery to us.

We learn and enlighten and torture our selves with regret.

When the whole time this "Innocence" was a big act.
