Life after innocence

They have just entered life
Past the age of adolescence
Away from the innocence
A mile from expectation

They enter the unknown

Not know what is to come
Fear the only guidance

They look back always wondering
Wanting the life that has past them by
The shadow of memories dissipate
As there reborn with the future
With the new day sun

How can I show you these cracks
Which are widening as we speak
Do I need to scream, shed a tear
Fall at your feet for you to see
