Her #naivete was beautiful and precious. Unfortunately, it was up to me to prepare her for the real world, a bit at a time. Shining hope was gradually replaced by fear and skepticism. I tried to remind her of what was still good, but she had to reclaim peace on her own.

Maybe it’s my own #naivete, but I believe that the darkest days are starting to pass.

This hellish timeline we’ve turned into a punchline is on the wane.

I’m seeing sparks turn into small flames.

And who knows, if more people simply choose to believe this, too, maybe we can make it so.

until that fateful day
in my #naivete
I believed them
their sacred oath
“first, do no harm”
was but a ruse, a shield
to my alarm
a cover
used to disarm
to hide behind
while the driving force
at top of mind
of course
the magic charm
was how to conceal
the harm
they'd cause
for the money

‘Are you watching a documentary?’

‘Yah, it’s an in-depth look at how rivers are natural ecosystems & how they’re in danger.’

‘Is it trying to get people to overcome their #naivete about how climate change is affecting us?’

‘Not really. It’s about beavers. Best dam show I’ve ever seen.’

Naivety is a gift,
until they unwrap
the bow too soon

His only #vice was #naivete. While others fell to the bottle or slots, he wandered through his days with a peaceful smile as the world burned around him. Sure, he missed a lot, but he took big hits of ignorance and sailed high on the freedom of his bliss.

'I suppose there is a certain charming #naivete to your joie-de-vivre, Pixie. Even if your pranks are annoying.'
'Gee, thanks, Gabe. Fraid there's nothing charming about your grumpy, strait-laced, rule-following self.'
'I take that as a compliment.'
'Thought you would.'

There's a difference between #naivete and dumbassery. One is a lack of experience, the other is just a president being stupid.

Words just look cooler with diacritic marks. Mötley Crüe is far cooler than Motley Crue and naïveté has more cachet than #naivete. If you want to make something cööl, toss some umlauts on it.

Ah the #naivete of the lizard #invader. The looks on their faces as we embraced them, offering: #reduce what you like. Sure, casualties were in the #upper millions, but now they live with us in peace, renouncing their weapons. They had no defence from our love

A scammer, when picking his prey,
Looks for kindness and #naivete
So if you are green
You better be mean
And RUN when he tells you to pay...

The Mark

An anonymous shell opens
to the tide,
hinge trembling,
believing water
will never take
more
than it gives.

The sea takes.

The shell opens
again.

Naivete
calcifies in the brine.

#vss365 A girl left a bowl of milk outside each night for the terror in the woods, and they mocked her #naivete. Her father laughed hardest. A year later, every house but theirs stood empty. He asked why they had been spared.

“It said you had to be last, Father.” #Edvane #DarkFantasy

Pearls and diamonds mixed in.

Rules dressed up to mimic perfection.

Your #naivete to fall into that blender.

That comfort spun up lies around you.

“There is nothing to silence”
I tell myself, while the battle rages
inside and memories echo off
my cathedral heart walls.

I bathe in my #naivete
ignore the sirens song that
tries to smash me on the rocks
of the life I have created.

There is a troll at the edge of the village, so Mum tells me. He feeds on the #naivete of passers by. Sure, okay, whatever you say. When I get close I see his shadow. You won't fool me, that's clearly Mum dressed up. As I feel the teeth sink in I'm still laughing at her fake mainstream lies.
