Peter Pan's Logic


When I was eight, I thought I would be a super Saiyan if I yell loud enough Jumping from stairs on pillows yelling nimbus Creativity was pure endless When you're young, Creativity is at its prime At a age, where maturity is the next opportunity When you think growing up is the best thing to come Higher your age, you notice how it become more or less fun When people are dying in the world and living in the slum The simple equation of me plus age equals a reason to never get old The Term "LIfe sucks" was written in bold, in the inner cavity of my head What, Where, when, is the issue Not comprehending, why beloved ones grabbing the tissue and tears fall from their eyes Set aside that I don't understand , why everyone begins to cry Age had intimidated me before I knew its Essence As a adolescent, I knew only of my neighborhood My Friends and I played tag without touching chips of wood Simple activities brought forth so much of my happiness & tranquility I am a boy,afraid of the life as man Why do we have to work as I truly do not understand Then I thought why can't we come together as a land I keeping thinking the world should be like how ants are working together Whether or not, if you are rich or poor As a core, we all should be on the same accord When I became ten I understood death, when Simba was calling for his father. He did not move or speak The shriek, made me realize he is not coming back Parents are what keeps us safe at night Waiting for us to fall asleep then cut off the light,because we thought the bed bugs would bite So I never want to grow up with any of these problems I am not prepared to solve them, for anyone not even myself Well it is this girl, She is cute and she liked the way I poot At the root, I would say I like her green eyes with her brown skin I like how we talk about something else but she is my friend She talks about her getting old And how life unfolds into her being a queen. Not deciding if she wants a king or anything I don't really know why I get a strange feeling between my stomach & heart My mother told that I gets the butterflies and I asked her if I am going to die You like someone that's all Then she had gotten a fateful call that I will never see her anymore I cried for a week and asked why do I see no blood but feels so much pain for, her and only her A decade pass by and now twenty years of age I understand everything from the index to the table of contents page I reconciled the loss of my grandfather I do not wish to be bother, about the joys of a boy I have seen death grip the last breath of loved ones Problems grow heavier than any ton, I am stronger now to uphold my tasks given to me By my father's father to let who I am as man be free A women who needs you as much you them It begins the rim,of why you should you get old Life and time is more precious than any gold So bring life in this reality and get pass the formalities Be someone's neverland so they can understand Every Man begins as a child And as a child you know no bounds of what happiness can be(poems go here)

This was incredibly moving emotionally and rhythmically. I can really relate to this, and I think you did a wonderful job of presenting this universal reality we all have to deal with in life. Thank you for sharing this!
