We Were All Innocent

Babies are born everyday Eyes painted wide, with not much to say Just basic needs and intimate love Simplicity, for they know not of But time surely passes And questions are formed The enemy’s kisses pierce like a thorn Innocence, we were all Innocent Before we were taught Before we knew Before we ever walked our way through We were, innocent Looked to our parents, looked to our friends Bonds sealed with kisses we thought would never end Shame in our smiles Guilt in our bones Masks painted on us with light undertones Rejection invades and stings at one's core Society kills what we were made for Innocence, we were all Innocent Before we were taught Before we knew Before we could ever walk our way through We were innocent Before the walls and cement were there Before the sorrow in the air Before the heartbreaks Before the fears Before we ever cried a tear We were innocent.
