How The World Changes
It does fade
Your childish embrace of the world
As it unfolds in front of you
The cold breeze of its indifference
Begins to wrap around you
The sharp picture of what you thought was perfection
Starts to dull and gray
What was once so simple
Is shown to be a spider’s web
The only thing you had was innocence
But innocence doesn’t survive in this world of cruelty
It likes to fool you into thinking it does
