The loss of innocence

Why did you tell me?
I did not want to know!
Why could I not stay naive,
So childishly carelss?
Why did I have to know what the world has come to?

I was a child
Did not know, and did not care
And I was happy there

I had no need to see the world
I was innocent, but innocence was stolen
And once gone it will never come back

So now I ask why you had to destroy
The picture-perfect world I thought I knew
With all your harsh reality
When I did not want to know.
