Innocence - poem

There once was a little girl
With white blonde hair 
Who smiled, who laughed 
Who loved life without a care. 

She wore pretty polka dot dresses 
And sparkley shoes 
She loved to prance about on stage 
She had nothing to lose. 

She was the class clown
Always cracking jokes
She loved people, and talking, laughing and joking 
She was so carefree and happy 
She had nothing to fear 
And only when she stumbled over
Did she shed a tear. 

Suddenly it all changed 
She stopped being so carefree 
She began to question everything and everyone
She began to worry 
She stopped being so outgoing
She hid in her room
She swapped her pretty dresses
For baggy clothes 
And the bright eyes 
And glowing skin
Quickly dulled and her personality
Thinned. 

If you watch her closely 
You would’ve seen
Her retreat into herself
Hide away from everyone

The world wasn’t so fantastic anymore
