My Eyes Once Shone Like Stars

As I have stated in a previous post, Poetry needs a particular mindset for me, and as a result, most of my poems have a darker or sadder undertone. This poem is a lament of lost innocence that a child goes through as they become old enough to recognize the world’s problems. Again, as in my last post, this is not my current mental state but rather the result of a wave of emotions I experienced a while ago. Right now, I am in a good place mentally.
