Finding Neverland


Today I am 17, soon to be 18 and it wont be long until adults will respect me, youth will reflect me. But I just sit here in my room waiting for Peter Pan to come. Before I grow up I need to leave. Its been growing inside of me, and there it dwells. This intense desire to venture away, so far away from this place I have always been. I shall go to neverland and when I return, for I shall return, I will then be ready. Ready to begin. I'll know who I am, and better so, who I shall become. As a small child I pondered who I would be in this year, my beauty and skill, so clever and loving. Oh the hours I built myself. Just to look in the mirror but a few years later. Still a child stuck within a daydream. An idea of what I should be in order to become the one I desire. My Neverland. Today I am 17, not ready to be 18. I sit by my window and gaze into the night. It's just there above me, second star to the right.

Alex. Female. 18. Lver of virtue, Star Wars, tea, and baby farm animals. Hipsterly ambiguous. Believer in being the change and also literature.
