Innocence

I wish I could erase time
to bring me back to my childhood
Hiding behind innocent eyes
filled with laughter and happiness
unaware that I would face death one day

I miss believing in fairytales
that are non-existent
I miss being vulnerable and naive

But now, I know too much
I know that I live in a cruel world
filled with violence and hate
Now, I only view this reality
behind cold, lifeless eyes

You say
Knowledge is Power
But, I say
Ignorance is Bliss
