Left Out

Children see life through the eyes of complete and total innocence.

Innocence; through the eye; developing a sense of how they'd see themselves in the future.

Children develop the way their environment thrived- learning through experience on how they'd approach certain topics.

Children see life through the eyes of complete and total innocence.

A child's eye believes that of what it perceives; instantly believing those they see at first glance.

Innocence. That's all it is.

The eye of the innocence.

Children see life through the eyes of complete and total innocence.

Complete and total innocence.

Through the eye of the beholder; the eye of truth.

Children see life through the eyes of complete and total innocence.

So, imagine the child's disbelief when she grew up and realized just how distrustful life had turned out to be once she hit adulthood.
