Born Golden

Born golden, 
I cried , smiled , laughed 
Then ran ,walked , talked 

Innocence was my gift stolen 
By the cloud dressed in black 
Known as growing up 
The old trap 

As leaves turn golden before winter 
Is approaching, 
Humans are natures' controversy,
As we are born golden then 
Turn cold and selfish,
Just like the colour grey 
Unknown of it's real presence.

Yet frozen 
I cry, smile , laugh 
Then run , walk , talk 
Still the same. 

But no longer golden.
