Innocence
I am often wondering now a days what the meaning of this word is...Innocence. The American Dictionary states that Innocence is simplicity; absence of guile or cunning; naiveté. Lack of knowledge or understanding. Harmlessness; innocuousness. For some reason I do not think that any of those are true. Innocence is, from my point of view a lack of guilt. A simple ability to love and feel no guilt for it. Guilt rides us everyday like an overused pony, yet we don't notice it because it has broken us...and it broke us hard. Some people might view Innocence in a physical manner and that is true that some people are 'innocent' in that way...but thats only half the story. I find ,everyday, that most virgins know more about sex and pleasure of the flesh than most people who participate in it daily. Why is it that Innocence is stripped from us so quickly, that to hold onto it is frowned upon in our society? I supposed it's meant to make us stronger, more durable to the world around us. I have found that...when I was young I sealed my heart away to hide from the pain of the world. That now, after I have opened my heart to so much that Innocence has prevailed in my heart over all else. Yet as my heart catches up with my brain I can feel my innocence fading. When I used to watch the rain fall in fascination, is now watched in quiet melencoly. What I find that helps though, is letting go of your hate. Loving with all your heart and taking the pain and useing to get stronger. My innocence has stayed with me for too long I think, for I'm having to jump start to catch up with the world, But I will miss it. Yet I know I will always have it with me, In my mind I will always remember that feeling when I look at the rain, or listen to music. Find your heart my friends, fill it with love and happiness and never let that go. You'll be amazed at the person you see looking back at you in the mirror the next day. Ja Ne.
