Growing Up To Reality
Sugar coated lies,
Rainbows deny darkness light,
Young minds tricked open
Time - the realist,
Unravels truths, salt lingers
Black consumes wonder
Age ripens fresh souls
Decay shuts down open doors
Innocence unfound
Maturity reigns
Lies once believed, now retold
To sparkling wide eyes
