Write like a Child

hangingoninquietdesparation:

And she said she felt like a child
when she wrote
and i said
good

try and write like a child
try and write
with freedom and lack
of artifice
try and write without
the filters of adult experience
try and write
about the things that matter
however childish
they may seem

did we write
or think
about what might
when we were children
or are we only scared
now we are aged

is experience better
than innocence
and why does it seem
one only comes
at the expense
of the other
