A Lost Childhood

The innocence of youth
So easily lost
One moment
One memory
Lost forever
Denied
As if they were never there
What happened to them?
One minute they’re there
The next minute they’re gone
Taken away brutally
Sliced from your heart
You were just a child
Now you’ve been forced
Into the harsh outer world
One full of
Anger
Hate
Greed
Apathy
The once known ignorance is
Gone forever
The childhood you once knew
Is nothing more than a thing of the past
What is innocence?
