The Innocence of Youth<br />

Is always at play<br />

Within a child’s heart<br />

My curiosity<br />

Leads me astray<br />

From my safe park<br />

Now the whispers of memories<br />

Are talking about me<br />

Of how naive, I used to be<br />

I only catch phrases and bits<br />

Since remembering myself as a kid,<br />

I recall so little<br />

All I can say is...<br />

This used to be my playground<br />

Now the jungle gym<br />

Is a complex web<br />

Which I’m tangled in<br />

Upside down hangs my head<br />

This used to be my playground...<br />

The forgetful transition<br />

Of becoming an adult<br />

Is scarcely understood<br />

All this pain I’m feeling<br />

Can it all be my fault<br />

By preferring childhood<br />

There’s a haunting reminiscence<br />

Of my younger self’s essence<br />

In the past Or in the present<br />

The time of millennia’s<br />

Obliterates nostalgia<br />

I recall so little<br />

All I can say is....<br />

This Used To Be My Playground<br />
