Time Isn't Naive

 

Time isn’t naive .

 

Time isn’t Naive

It will run rings around you while you try to establish yourself 

It will try and detach. from you the very essence of innocence.

By the age 8-10 you will have heard someone lie

By 12-14 you will have known of someone being bullied 

 

You hope, looking to create positive world change.

But time is meticulous always planning.

But by the time you reach 16-25 you will have heard of several serial killers and known of a major terror attack. 

Maybe now you believe everything is corrupt. Maybe Time was always aware. 

 

But when time allows you to see Joy in the sadness, truth in the lies and hope in grief

What should you believe?

Mums Goodnight kisses or the scars on your face? 

Time isn’t naive. But you don’t have to be, it is not expected of you to be.Not just yet.

 

Who told you to lose your optimism, your vigour?

 

Time will without doubt chip away at your innocence.

But that doesn’t mean you can’t hold your teddybear tight tonight.
