Honesty

I remember the days when
I was like a white sheet
With no stain
Found on me

I remember the days
I spent wishing to grow
Like a newly planted seed
Seeking to take its first breath of air

I remember the days
I played like a puppy
Chasing my own tail
And easily distracted by the sound of a rattle

Those were the days
I wasn't tainted
By the stains of mud

Suffocated because
Of the pollution
And forced to grow
Because of duty
