Little Child

16 3 1
                                    

What we define as lurid
is a child's favorite color

What we see as intrinsic
is a child's say of boredom

What we do with impetuosity
is a child's way of interpreting an adult

-
Little did we know as a child
things were far from what they seemed.

-
Our tangled mess of words,
Our little feet, our tiny fingers,
Our beating hearts of innocence,
Our fire-filled curiosity.

-
O little child, you are beyond what you seem
You are a flame amidst impeccability
You differ like a hurricane
You're the storm through the pouring rain
You are you, little child
And don't you ever change.

A/N: please listen to ODESZA's instrumental version of Memories That You Call while reading this poem. It makes it all the more diverse and enigmatic along with the beats, I assure you.
