Aging


She placed you here.

Innocence

No one can take that from you.

You’re care free and dependent.

The ignorance you once had starts to fade.

You start to extend.

Now you’re so energetic

No one can keep up.

You eventually start to feel awkward.

New emotions and feelings awaken inside you.

You start to reshape.

You sound stranger than ever.

You are taken over by body.

You then start to become more and more comforting.

You are different.

So different that those that knew you before barley can recognize.

You decide things that could change everything.

You have more responsibility,

 but ignorance starts to come back.

You become more and more vulnerable.

So vulnerable you can’t take care of yourself.

You lose everything you ounce had.

The innocent you had finally came back.

And no one can take that from you.

Now it’s his turn to take you from here.
