I to i


I the kId.  the Innocent kId. 

the one who was rIghteous. 

I have vIrtues and I have morals. 

I am kInd

wIth a smIle bIgger than the unIverse. 

I have a clean conscIence. 

But not any more. 

NOW i KNOW.  

MY EXPERiENCES HAVE MADE ME SiNFUL. 

MY THOUGHTS HAVE MADE ME iMPURE. 

MY ACTiONS HAVE MADE ME WiLD.

CORRUPTiON SPAWNED FROM MY KNOWLEDGE. 

my eyes used to be a sign of purIty,

NOW MY SOUL iS PURELY EViL.

i AM NO LONGER THE STAiNLESS KiD i USED TO BE. 

i AM NOW THE CHiLD SOLDiER WHO FiGHTS HiS OWN MiND.
