Some say that none of us are innocent,

That we’ve all had our pains
That the best tears are for others
That no one will die if we love their presence in our lives
That brave violence is a failure to face our fears
That unburdened hearts neither suffer, nor cause it
That discrimination is the absence of love

They say,

That innocence is boring.
That simplicity is childish.

Some say,

That while there are hearts in darkness, we all share the pain;
That while one soul hurts, we all deserve to.

Maybe someday, we will all choose to be innocent; together.
