Nothing lasts forever so; live it up, drink it down, laugh it off, avoid the bulls***, take chances and never have regrets because at one point everything you did was exactly what you wanted.

Do you remember?
Remember the time,
When you were
Young, Sweet, Innocent
And Naive?

So young.
So confident.
So unconcerned.

Not caring;
If someone judged you,
It didn't matter.
As long as you were doing something,
that made you happy.

I don't remember,
What it was like.
Back when I was
that innocent, naive child.
So happy and care free.

As I grow older,
Society has broken in.
Stolen that innocence,
Stolen my peace.

I am no longer;
Happy,
Carefree,
Confident.

I am now;
Scared,
Anxious,
Nervous.

Why did society have to break in?
Where did the innocence go?
How can I get it back?
