Oh, a child’s mind.

Oh, a child’s mind:

 

Lucent, a word forgotten upon my tongue, alike happiness once faded into the wind.

 

Oh, a child’s mind; so unblemished, so inspired, so… hidden.

 

Reborn into agony and anguish, unsullied curiosity crushed under the weight of life. I’m sorry, little one; no one could ever protect you from what you never chose to be born into.

 

Oh a child’s mind, so ingenuous, so wondering.

 

Curiosity killed the children?

 

No.

 

Life did.
