"When I confessed
that I was the girl version
of Peter Pan,
he stared at me long
and hard.Trying to suss
whether or not I
- was kidding around.The exact same reaction
I'd predicted.Confessing what I did,
You see,
Wasn't a joke.
I meant it.The little girl still lived
inside of me.Though I may have aged
from the outside
and my brain has developed
to thinking and adapting
to the world we live in,
I'm still the same
- little girl inside.
Who never wanted to grow up.
Who misses Neverland
with all the broken pieces
of what remains of a heart that once
- was.I still get emotional
still miss my mum.I am a lost boy,
still trying to figure myself out.I'm expected to be
an adult
but really it feels like
the biggest joke of all.
Because I'm not one
and I don't feel like
- I'll ever be.Being an 'adult'
feels like a game,
One I ever wanted to play.It's like I've been kidnapped
by Captain Hook,
taken aboard his dizzying ship
of stealing youth.I age from the outside
but remain me, within.
Split between two realms of a universe.
Two lives.
Ripped and torn
Torn and ripped
to tiny shards
of thousands of pieces,
scattered like pixie dust
over time.I am no longer whole.
I am slowly but surely,
close to
- loosing my mind.But,
Maybe that makes me
More like
Alice in
- wonderland,
Who fell down,
A dark hole,
Maybe I'm
the late rabbit
late for
- everything."
