I am stuck in the age that you love to mock,
but it wasn't my fault I couldn't stop the clock.
Two thick braids have unraveled into soft curls,
grinning crooked teeth turned to bright whitened pearls.
Hey there Peter Pan,
Come from Neverland,
come to take me away.
We don’t have much time
So let’s make this last
mama tucks me in and I ask her when I can go outside again
she took me out of school when I told her the kids called my by a new nickname
and I asked her for the first time what schizophrenia meant
mama tucks me in and I ask her when I can go outside again

Hello children,
My name is Peter, Peter Pan
And I am here to introduce you to the magical world known as Neverland
Where children step foot into paradise
Tick, tick, tick,
It's time to go to school to learn how to be quick.
Tick, tick, tick,
A grown-up Peter can't afford to not be a cynic.
No more daydreaming and pondering,
Once upon a time
In a sleepy small town
Lived a pretty young girl
In a pretty blue gown
When one late night
There was a boy.
He never wanted to grow up.
He was scared of being abandoned.
There were the Lost Boys.
His friends. His family.
Peter had a family before though.
He doesn't remember his mother,
Skulking in the mid of night
A viridescent spirit leads in flight-
His servant following suit
Cloaked in a flaxen complimentary soot
Young Peter and Wendy went out for a walk
when around every corner some creature seemed to stalk.
They heard the rustling of the trees and branches snap
and in the distance a rather large thunder clap.
a red feather
soars through december air
eyes searching
and a red nose
lights sparkle beneath
as towns
as cities
eyes caught
at a window
a child
The story of Peter Pan
Was told by all in the land
The little boys and girls dreamed of this boy
And an island filled with fun and toys
But little did they know
Along my once smooth, boyish face,
coarse stubble grows.
Neverland has come and gone,
and now the only time I fly
is when the square of paper
Tick Tock
Tick Tock
I'm unaccustomed to the silence
His pipes no longer play the songs of youth.
Phantom pains awaken
in the place my heart was meant to be
they had left the window open
with only a thin blanket
to cover them in the night
and so, the cold overtook them
when you told the Darlings
He's here
he has came
but what is his name?
In the shadows he hides
as I pretend to close my eyes
In the shadows I see
he watches me
His intentions never bad
Once upon a time there was a girl
Who fell in love with a hero
He swept her away to another world
Once upon a time, lived a boy who could not die
eventually. yes, but Peter was lonely at best
until one day he saw a band of brothers
who looked so happy, together, forever
so he decided to take it for himself.
Pan’s Growing Pains
Second star to the right,
With Peter Pan, Wendy, and her brothers taking flight.
The Lost Boys wonder,
“Peter, don’t replace us.”
There once was a man named Jones.
He flew a flag of skull and crossbones.
Then along came Pan.
Who took his hand.
And now it's a hook that he owns.
Before the “Once upon a time” you know, life was different. There was no Peter Pan. No lost boys. No Captain Hook. They appear eventually, but Pan never talks about how they appear.
Never did I ever
Dreamed of a boy who could live forever
But I had
Never did I ever
Get wicked away with a flip a switch or lever
But I had
Peter Pan you took us away
The lost boys told us you wanted to play
They were tired and so was I
I had enough of you making me cry
You had us in your power
But some of the lost boys were as gentle as flowers
Once upon a time
A mother tucked her little boy into bed.
She sang him a lullaby, she kissed his head,
She opened the window and slipped out the door
Closing it quietly behind her.
Once upon a time
Dressed in green, I fly,
Through the stars, the sky,
Finding those like me, lonely,
Left by people who loved them not, lovely,
So we can be lonely boys togehter, lost boys,
Once upon a time
There were seven kingdoms
Founded by seven sisters
And blessed by an immortal witch
The stories of these kingdoms
You may find familiar
But know that all is not as it was told
Growing up? Who wants that?
Peter never had anyone to show him the way,
Thinks being a kid is where it’s at.
Now one thing is certain, things are different than just the other day.
All children except one grow up,
except the boy living in Neverland.
The boy who lives forever young
away from responsibilities,
from becoming a man.
Never, he said, would I feel the pull of gravity on my skin,
or the pains of growth in my bones.
Forever.
Beauty preserved like a relic ship in a clear-glass bottle.
Tink.He calls me.Tink.He calls me.Love.He never calls me.Wendy.He calls her.
That is why I wear Green.
The boy flies without a care,
forgetful of a future he once knew
yet now, he chooses to live unaware.
Wish as I could to change his fate,
for if he continues this way
Sometimes the brightest star
The one carrying the most promise
And the object of your love and hope
f

l
I look away,
But the lost girl inside
is telling me to speak up.
I mumble an answer
But the lost girl inside
is telling me to yell.
I walk with my head down,
I am a lost boy,
From Neverland,
Never growing up,
And running from,
Captain Hook.
Never wanna leave,
Wanna stay right here,
Flying 'round the woods with,
Peter Pan.
The shadow of you lingersAround me.It mimics the feel of Your touch,Your warmth,Your lips. I teases me with memories that are better as memories.
"The brighter the shadow the darker the light I try to cover it up with the viceIs that giving up the fight Bait from the or maybe gift from christ Either way I won't take a bite
A highlighted moon and a star filled sky
it was perfect weather for flight. You sat
on my window, with untamed fiery hair and an outfit of green,
reaching out your hand and saying “come with me.”
This is me
This is who I am
In and Out
This is where I stand
A dark shadow that disappears
Looking for Peter Pan
Dreaming long and hard
"I think I can"
Become the President? Perhaps not
I plod along pristine sidewalks
in this utopian town,
craving the crisp crunch
of leaves under my sneakers,
but they’ve all been swept away
for as long as i can remember, my friend Lindsey has been in love with Peter Pan.on a night of pill bottles and pale skin, Peter visited herhospital room and the green fringes of his kid-clothes
All children grow up
All but one
A boy who never grows up
best friends with a fairy
a tinkering fairy
Tinkerbell
Oh how overly jealous she can be
her bells a ringing a tune
Second Star to the right
Past Big Ben
Where you must go
Is what I'm told
It's what I've heard
but where to
is my concern
My last thought
b- before I fell
Wishing
I went to a place,
A far, far away land.
A land, filled with wonders.
No, not Narnia.
That one's next.
No, I went to a better place.
A land with a captain and a hook,
A crocodile and a clock,
I could have sworn I was there to stay,
but time was slipping away like grains of sand.
Now, from reality, I must get away!
Please, someone, take me back to Neverland.
Chop of the hands of Time and feed them to crocks.
Smash into pieces, the watches and clocks.
Rip out the innards, the gears and the weights.
Wear all the tick marks wrapped ‘round your waist.
If Peter Pans poison never set into my heart and head,
If my parents only understood
If Never Neverland wasn't so far away- I’d disappear today
I’d never look back
Be the Peter to my Wendy and we’ll grow young together.
With nimble feet and sewn on shadows we’ll drift into a bank of memories
piled high and stored in well-lit jars for our wrinkled years.
