Thank you all so much for the amazing positive feedback ❤ I follow back the ones who follow me and I also follow those who wrote those very nice comments just as a thank you :D please check my other works too ; I worked very hard on them :)

When I was a kid I used to be so curious;

I wanted to know why grown ups looked so serious

Why they always carried the weight of the world on their shoulder

And why every time I asked what's wrong they told me ''it's complicated
;You'd get it when you're older"

Back then you could get away with anything just because you were a kid

And if you didn't get along with people you'd create your own imaginary best friend

You believed deep inside that you'd forever keep the joy and fun

But little that you knew; things are easier said than done

As we grew older we faked smiles just to please;

Our worries increased and our laughs ceased

We used to think that the world is a safe place where you can trust anyone with a friendly face

Now you know it's not the case; people are wearing masks hiding their ugly intentions that they'd later reveal

And the world you once loved is full of too much evil that if you hadn't seen for yourself you wouldn't believe it's real

There's hunger and fear and people who turned off their humanity filling the world with sorrow and despair

Everything stopped making sense and there are broken hearts everywhere

But still you look for innocence where ever you go and you hold on to the ones who don't know what you now know

You seek comfort in a child's sweet embrace;

Finding joy on the pure smile on their face

You see the good in people trying to over see their mistakes

You try to make it work trusting them again and doing whatever it takes

Every now and then I find myself deep in thought till everything around me vanishes in to space

And here comes my little cousin asking about the frown on my face and why I look like I'm carrying the weight of the world on my shoulder

And I find myself answering her'' it's complicated you'd get it when you're older"

little that she knows; her world won't look the same when she grows
