Small revelation
Lying down sinking in the day
reflecting on the drag of the way
trying to think of how life was
don't remember it being so cross
Yes growing up felt like fun
and all along I enjoyed the run
but excited I realized not when
I outran my safe and sound playpen
the world outside was the real deal
the same one where a shark hunts a seal
and each one has just one rule
survival for the fittest, let die the fool!
and what of the virtues I learnt as a kid
of truth and mercy and a noble deed
I still care for it but have lost perspective
are they just man's creation to help him live?
I miss my playpen I miss that carefree living
the world is beautiful but not all forgiving
have to play by the rules and keep a strong front
the question is how do I stay innocent?

i'm tempted to say noone's innocent anyway...but i don't want to say that because i've lost perspective on it...i feel though, it's a great thing to evolve with every experience...i don't mind being jaded, i like it cos it doesn't stem out of naivete...I feel nostalgic about everything carefree but feel like i am far more evolved now to want to go back...
The real world is a strange place
You play by the rules, up your own pace
Conflict it need not with the noble deed
And truth and mercy, and your values indeed
Today is passing, it never lasts
What it shows is ephemeral contrast
It doesn't get to decide who is cool,
Or choose the fittest, or the fool
Awesome!! Thankyou Sir!
I so hope what you say is true
and I wont mourn the time that flew
the today that's not been that kind
I wont let decide my mind!
