Peter Pan

Who wants to grow up?
There is only pain.
The world fades to gray,
Hope dashed away.
Life becomes an enemy,
Your battles never won.
or lost.

Why must my body ache?
Because in my soul
It churns, not with age,
But emotion.

Oh Neverland!
How I cry for the timeless king.
Where joy is easily gained,
And sorrow forgotten.

Even should I die,
I would never misguide myself,
That heaven wouldn't be real.
Or fake.
Because, a child's trust
Is absolute.

Take me away.
A world so far away.
