The days of youth have absconded
into the folds of forgotten memory.
Times when ignorance was bliss
Incompatible innocence - only temporary.

The chapters continue to write themselves,
never-ceasing in their progression.
Stars faded into broken shards
as age summoned its restriction.

Responsibility--
Tying down diamond-eyed children
into burdened and weary adults
where giggles with smiles are hidden.

The days of youth have long departed
where may have abused the tender-hearted.
The beauty of youth had a hiccup
when we believed we wanted to grow up.
This was my homework for my English class. We were to write a elegy about something that is gone and we miss. I took a deeper tone and wrote about this.

I keep changing a word here and there, I am quite paranoid about my first English assignment.

Beautiful and sad, those hiccups. I'd like to think we can still find Never Land. ^^
