This innocence is brilliant.

When we are young we're taught the difference between right and wrong, it's the construction of our morals. Obviously, most of us are too young during this time to adequately take in what is being thrown at us. The majority, do however remember a select amount of this valuable information that will only seem to make sense as we age and our wisdom is needed. The beauty in it, is that when you are young, you aren't held at full responsibility for your actions and choices, whether they are right or wrong.

I hope that it will stay.

Sometimes I wonder what it would be like if we, as adults, were still able to feel that childlike curiosity and wonder towards things that are foreign to us. Instead, we have people turning against each other for the most foolish of reasons. Brothers kill each other, parents fights, friends become foes. All that is taken for granted are the young ones. The ones who know no better, the ones who cannot and do not express themselves.

This moment is perfect.

If adults kept the morals they learnt as children, would we not be better developed on an emotional level? We'd know when enough was enough. World piece wouldn't be a thing if fictional stories; a Utopia would be in our grasp.
Would a perfect society be plausable?
What lengths would the human race need to go to in order to, not only obtain, but also maintain these ideals?
Does the answer really lie with the progeny?

Please don't go away.

Sometimes, as I lie awake, unable to interact any longer with the conscious realm, drifting in the lands of limbo; I think about how I would have ended up, had I retained that childhood innocence. Maybe I wouldn't have ended up where I was, where I am, with thoughts clouded by anger and self-hate. I wish I was a hero, not thus twisted disaster.
I wish that things could've turned out in a way that would've left us all in better places.

I need you now, and I'll hold onto it.

Some people need to remember what made them who they are. Maybe utd help them figure out who they should be, who they could be.

Don't you let it pass you by.

It's now that I see; while I envy those who are too young to see the darkness that the world holds, who are blissfully unaware of the catastrophic truth behind every forced smile; that we will never truly be happy. It is in human nature to question, yet the problems only start when we start questioning ourselves as people, creating doubt... Our ultimate downfall.
