peter pan syndrome

Man

With the Peter Pan Syndrome

refuses to grow up.

still locked in the Never-Never Land,

thinking that there is Tinker bell

ready to make the wish come true.

 

Wendy with the faithful dog, Nana,

patiently waits for Peter Pan to return

to reality that is,

 

Man,

just like Peter Pan

still trapped in fantasy

refuses to return

and be with the woman

he loves.

 

Woman,

just like the patient

and ever loving Wendy

waits for the return

of the person so dear to her.

 

Love is indeed a sacrifice,

the question  still hangs.

Will Peter Pan finally  grow up

and be a REAL MAN?

Nice use of the topic peter pan! I guess we all need to learn to grow up someday, but its hard :), nice poem.

yes it is really hard but then we simply have to grow up eventually

Some men have a problem putting away childish things.eventually maturity sets in for most guys but there is still a little boy in us all

[sette]

yes that is what i have realized for some time and that inspired me to write this poem, KC thanks for a wonderful and honest review

I don't know if men can grow up and stop having the Peter pan syndrome... I would like to believe we can but even I disillusion myself sometimes... Thank you for sharing this write

Have you been talking to my mum? :)
I am fifty in July, which I will be renaming forty ten, and I still dont know what I want to be when I grow up. I think im pushing it a bit to be a spaceman cowboy, but you just never know....A man can dream, and daydream, and....well, it is quite hard to stop us doing that, so good luck trying :)
