Innocence

It's not a wish anymore
It's my urgent need
As I have examined my core
Innocence should be in my soul's feed

When I look ten years back
To my five year old self holding a toy stack
Hating on nobody
But filled with love for everybody

Not understanding the intentions
But making deep connections
I don't know why I am understanding everything so deep
And holding the emotions my heart can't keep

"You're a big girl now" is something I don't wanna hear
I want to cry so hard if I can't bear
Just wanna say sorry to those I hated on
But my ego will get hurt if I practice it for long

I want to be that five year kid again
Where I was self obsessed
Now I am so insecure
I don't know till when I'll endure
