    Return to Innocence
    Is there a way to go back in time
    And replenish us of our youth?
    The time we played with baby toys
    All the way to our first tooth?
    The times we were happy to be around
    The presence of the ones we love.
    The times when family and friends had cared
    And we learned of “The Man Above”.
    Can you remember the times when you did not worry
    About who you needed to trust?
    Or the times when everything was “puppy love”
    And nothing was based on lust?
    Is there a way to return to innocence
    Without loosing the adult frame of mind?
    Are we destined to total corruption
    And death of all our kind?
    I’m tired of the hurt; I’m tired of the pain.
    Am I destined to live this way?
    Instead of moving forward to learn more corruption,
    Can I stay in yesterday?
    Return to innocence, return to purity,
    Return to the time we weren’t so wild.
    Return to kindness, return to love
    Return to the innocence of a child.

    Man. im young there is alot of things i dont know and alot of thngs i fail to see but i have often wondered why things matter so much more when you get older.. i wish i could return to times where love wasnt complicated and i couldn't identify what was corrupt. i really like this 1.

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
