I DIDN'T KNOW


When I was young
All the worlds wisdom
Was mine
I knew the sun would rise and set
My friends and I would play each day

It was a simple time
Life was a game
My home was happy and loving
A broken leg and leg healed
Nothing could harm me

Then one day
I grew tall and strong
Confusion set in
The world had changed
I didn't know
