Innocence. Poem by Katie Berry

What is innocence exactly?
Does it come with youth?
Is it a purity we all have?
Or is it just not knowing...

****

Not knowing who you are,
Or whats happening,
Not realising things that are obvious,
Or just not understanding everything and anything.

****

Innocence, we all say we see it in the eyes of the young,
We believe in it, because it protects us,
And even when we think it's gone,
Does a part remain inside of us?
