Modern Day Peter Pan

Modern Day Peter Pan

Sometimes I love things so much that they absolutely break my heart.

Children break my heart every single day.

One day they will grow up and lose their innocence and most importantly they become harshly judgmental.

I’m a modern day Peter Pan, striving to stay young, striving to keep my innocence.

I push my views on others in attempt to keep the world a young place.

But they’ve all already grown up.

We live in a harsh world, a polluted world, a judgmental world, but we also live in a mature world.

And that is possibly the saddest thing of all.

With a bit of tweaking, this could be a song. Fabulous piece!

Not all hearts have grown old, but you may have to do much searching.

[J. Alexis Balaguer]

Possibly so. However don't we all have the option to stay young heart? Personally 'growing up' is a physical and mental growth. Still, we can keep the innocence inside by believing right? Peter Pan says this too. Tell me, how do we fly?

Faith.
Trust.
Pixie dust?

Yes, pixie dust. Believe. :)

Good write. Thanks for sharing!
