Innocence Lost.

The end of innocence.
Where does it go?
What has to happen to someone for them to lose their innocence?
There seems to be a different answer for everyone.

For some...
It’s the realization that the world truly isn’t a fair place.
For others...
It’s in the first perverse thought.
Some seem to never have been innocent in the first place.

Where does the innocence go?
Does it just disappear?
Is it just something we give to the next younger generation...
Because we have to give it up ourselves to grow?

When did you lose your innocence?
Did you become jaded because of some pain?
Did you waste it on the person you thought you loved?
Was it squandered and given away freely and with no price?

To all of those who have lost our precious innocence...
Remember this.
The one place we can always retreat when the world rears its ugly head...
Is to the remembrance of our innocence.
When the world didn’t matter to us.

To all of those who still have their innocence...
Remember this.
Always treasure it.
Set a high price on it.
Hold on to it.
And when you have to leave it behind...
Make it worth while.

In remembrance of my lost innocence.


Skawt.
