Innocence

I used to be such an emotional child. I would watch movies and cry everytime it touched my soul. I was so passionate about life and the people in it. I always gave the benefit of the doubt and trusted so easily. I was full of positive life and ambition. There was a sparkle in my eye and purity in my heart. I had big dreams and spectacular goals. Life was grand, until it hit.

My heart hardened. I saw the evil in people and my dreams became clouds of pollution. My heart turned to stone and my ambition became nothing but an idle word. My perspective of life changed and my outlook of this world grew cold. I realized how much corruption, hate, and evil can exist in this world and of these people. I carried a blanket of my own sin and grew comfortable in it. I committed sin and I witnessed sin. I became desensitized to cruelty and injustice.

What happened to this world? This amazing world that I was born into? My heart aches.
