Tribute to Peter Pan
growing up.
what does that even mean anymore
it doesn’t just mean learning
it means learning to doubt yourself
everything you thought you knew
you felt for sure you would never do
everything you knew you would do
it doesn’t just mean growing
it means growing to hate yourself
dreams soaring, free, unbounded
tugged back down to Earth, with more force you thought could ever be mustered
crashing
twisting
it’s complicated.
