Some people don’t know what innocence is until they lose it. The beginning of a person’s life is inherently marked with being innocent. “Lying Fairies” is a poem found online by an anonymous writer, written about a young girl who starts to lose her innocence at a young age. As one reads, one can see that the more the young girl experiences, the less pure she gets.
