Youth is innocence

A beacon of trust

Honesty not marred

Health still unscathed

Friendships fulfilled

Bright smiling faces

Yet to be burned

And freed of all worries

Youth is innocence

Burdenless wealth

Undying curiosity

Marked with optimism

Free of imagines

Buth gruesome and vile

Untouched by affairs

From the outside world

Youth is innocence

Painless, easy

Simple as numbers

Easy as breathing

Adulthood is hard

Growing with pain

Selfishness and greed

Forgotten over time

Money hungry

Powerless theft

Dulling the eyes

That once were beautiful

Adulthood is hard

Written in lies

The fire has caught

And the words burn the souls

Innocence is lost

When you lose what was 

A true sense of self

Enveloped by the flames

Youth is innocent

Adulthood is lined

But the one thing unchanged

Is your innocence
