Chapter 84: Regret

One day you may feel it is okay to mourn

The childhood you lost

To the scorching flames of greed 

Childhood that could have been painted

With colors of joys and love,

but dear heart try not to lose your adulthood 

While mourning the childhood you lost once.

(Mourning thy innocence )
