Lost Boy

they tell me "these are the best years of your life"

that"I'll always remember them"

they didn't tell of the pain

they never spoke of the struggle

they hid my from the dark

always hiding in the light

all those days of childhood

of hopes and dreams

the days that turned into nights of peace 

they read me all the stories

the taught me all the tales

painted me dream 

of Never-Never Land 

they called me a lost boy

I went along never knowing why

now I see the truth

for that's all I really am 

a lost boy trying to find

Never-Never Land

Peter Pan is hiding

and Tinker Bell is nowhere to be found

even Captain Hook doesn't sail around

I really am a lost boy

trying to find a home

a place to lay my head

my heart it finds no rest

my soul it finds no peace

open up your book and see

under all the illustration 

there is no happy ending

there's just an ending

Can relate so well to the shadows here, the darkness, the lostness in seeking the joys that seem to hide so well. Such a beautifully expressed sadness. xo

Well written, love the nostalgic fairy tale feel. Ghost story vibe to a classic, and with a darker, sadder twist.
