Poetry for teenagers and older By Lin Raven

Peter Pan

Peter Pan was right about the world, right to not want to grow up.
He was right to see the world as a rather terrible place.
Tears grow to the brim of his cup.
The new world, you are yet to face.

Peter pan helped children stay that way, usually under odd and unwilling circumstances
But they all loved it. They knew they did. For no one wanted to grow into adulthood.
We are given looks of sorrow, sideways glances.
We do not do as we should.

Growing up is a hard thing to do. A difficult change in life.
Peter Pan was there for you when they needed help to stay children.
He helps them through toil and unwanted strife.
In this world, we are a nonviolent pilgrim.

Growing up is a waste of time. Growing up is hard to understand.
Growing up would soon be impossible for children taken by Pan.
Growing up in a world where we will now land
Growing up in Peter Pan's hand.

We do not want to grow up in this forsaken world. We do not want to grow up in this world at all.
We want to grow up in a peaceful one with a little adventure and excitement
It is just time we are trying to stall.
We want to be in this world' placement

Let us grow up to be better than the past generations
Better than the ones who brought pollution and problems to the world.
Let us have better enhancements
Let us start a new kind of word, let us be many a pearl
