Where Did She Go?

 

Where Did She Go?

 

Where are you now,

Little piece of childhood?

I wonder with my eyes half closed,

Memories blending with the unknown

As I try to figure it out.

 

When I look in the mirror,

I wonder where's the little girl

Who used to love the world,

And never needed to look too close.

What happened to her?

 

Did she disappear,

Or is she buried somewhere deep?

I have lost my kid heart and all it feels.

My old wants vanished with the coming of new dreams,

But why can't I remember?

 

Have I truly let her go?

I swore I'd never cross that line.

Then pride and cynicism crept through my mind,

And I abandoned my inner child.

Is this what it's like to grow up?

 

I miss innocence.

I miss naivety.

When I didn't try to look too deep

So that way nothing could hurt me.

Truth is more painful than ignorance.

 

I don't know

Where the little girl went,

Who knew how to forgive and forget.

The one with no regrets...

Where did she go?
