Give me back my innocence

Klara Elmqvist, Writer|March 31, 2023

Give me back the firefly catching

Give me back the toy shopping

Give me back the ‘who can swing the highest’

Give me back my innocence

Give me back the pavement chalk

Give me back the lullabies

Give back the ‘who can run the fastest’

Give me back my innocence

Give me back the sunshine

Give me back the butterflies

Give me back the ‘who can hold their breath longest’

Give me back my innocence

Give me back the tummy aches

Give me back the fairy tales

Give me back the ‘who can laugh the loudest’

Give me back my innocence

Give me back the forehead kisses

Give me back the reassurance

Give me back the ‘everything’s going to be alright’

Give me back my innocence

It was never yours to take.
