Don't Grow Up [its a trap]


like peter pan

i flew away

so i would never

have to age a day

 

the moon and stars

come and go

like all the people

i used to know

 

second star on the right

and straight on till morning

despite all they told me

i didnt heed a single warning

 

recklessly i went

i rode the skies

and to my solemn suprise

i knew what they had meant 

 

theres not enough

fairy dust or silent wishes

to bring me home now

so my world is uncaught kisses

and being young forever

 

b.m.
