Missing My Innocence

By Estel Elendil

Reminiscing of days

Days gone by

Days full of dreams

Just longing to fly

Ignorant bliss

My childhood

Content to be happy

Before I understood

Days of magic

And make-believe

Children's games

Wide-eyed and naïve

The world full of wonder

Full of joy

Laughing at it all

Days I could enjoy

But where has all the magic gone

Imagination fades

Simple colors gone

Dissolved into too many shades

Passing by

My life goes on

Missing my innocence

Those days are gone

And late at night

Within my dreams

Stare at the stars

The magic's redeemed

But then I wake

And lose it all

And though I try

I can't recall

My days of joy

That life of bliss

Missing my innocence

But stuck like this

AN: Sigh, damn growing up. Sorry this aint too good
