Innocence lost?

Does anybody just lose innocence or are we forced to? To climb up the ladder of success we have to dump innocence in the garbage lot. Coz that’s shit. Utter shit. I don’t say that. They say it. Ones who are ‘successful’. But are they actually successful? Can they answer their conscience always? I don’t know. I keep getting confused. The little boy called Bruno couldn’t figure out what farmers were doing in ‘striped pajamas’, why the farmers could play the number game while he was forbidden. I am equally confused. The world seems wrong. But then so many people living in it ‘happily’. So I must be wrong. Maybe it’s a sin to be innocent once you leave the school. Can’t an innocent person be successful? Everyday I’m losing a bit of my innocence. I don’t want to. Or maybe I’m trying to hold on to it desperately. In the process ending up on the ‘losing’ side. But who is actually losing? Is it me? Or the people who are actually losing ‘it’? I just hate politics…innocence lost………
