Loss Of
Childhood.

This project symbolizes the loss of childhood that we experience when we go to college and grow into our adult selves. We try to hold on to what we had as a child, but it slowly turns into a dark thought as we realize, we can never go back…

I wish I was still a kid,
everything felt okay no matter what I did.
I got to play and have fun,
but now those times are done.
I have grown,
my childhood went by faster than I would have ever known.
I wish I could go back,
everything now feels gloomy and black.
Being a kid was like the color,
but now the world just seems duller.
Why did I have to grow old?
Being an adult feels cold.
Being in college is hard,
I long for the days I could play on the swings in my backyard.
I only can hold onto the memories of the past,
I want them to last.
I long for my childhood spark.
Why is the colorful world I once saw now so dark?

Many of the photos were taken at the playground as it they were main parts of our childhood. Whenever I pass a playground I remember the memories from my childhood. I am then surrounded by a cloud of darkness as I realize I can never go back to being a kid.
