Peter Pan once took me home To Neverland I met everyone From Captain Hook and Mr. Smee To Tiger Lily and Tinkerbell For as long as I could I stayed with the Lost Boys But I soon had enough Of the homesickness Swelling within So I left Neverland But once I returned I saw that the home I had Was gone And the world I knew Was hidden deep in smog And metal "Time passes quick on Neverland," Peter told me "Home is gone," Then we flew back to Neverland Where children came But never left

Neverland
Born in the past But living in the now And will continue to the future Made a deal with the devil But a soul isn't the only price A tooth for a tooth A lifetime for a lifetime To see forever One must also see Things once loved Shrivel and die Not invincible Only immortal Is it really worth Seeing loved ones Grow old and pass While you stay forever young And helpless?

Immortal
We say we are original That no one person is alike Yet how can we say this When people obsess over celebrities Or everyone wants to be A part of a trend From dances to poses Originality is craved Yet never truly made Songs hold the same meaning Words have the same impact People think the same ways So when one person Thinks outside of the box Society ridicules And denies this person The right to originality We say it was already done

Originals
Onyx wings and silky feathers Sadly beautiful and mesmerizingly furious A broken soul and a shattered heart to pair Scarred, pale skin appears translucent A face that is beautifully depressing Once upon a time They walked among the stars Now they are forced to walk amongst humans The devil showed pity For he was God's favorite and an angel once long ago One wrong choice Now he rules below So angels become demons Because they were once loved But wanted more So Lucifer showed mercy Now they have their beauty again Now they are angels with a dark side

Fallen
Consider this We tell ourselves to live in the moment But we are afraid of change We tell others to follow their dreams But snicker and tease when they do We promise to do good tomorrow But never think about it Unless we receive as well We set standards of normalcy But tell others to be different Or be unique And outcast them When they become too unique We are scared of changed Or of being different We are scared of stereotypes And labels But never do anything to change them Consider this

Stop and Think
A flame is the lonely rage, hidden in the heart of desire. It burns for love and compassion, yet is stoked by the poker of hate, Corruption is a dragon, greedy and terrifying. Books are knowledge, inviting and comforting, but filled with the heavy truths of the world.

Metaphors
How easy it is to end a life. With a single movement of your finger, You can put out a bright flame. It can shudder and fade before you even blink.

The Flame of Life
Juicy and sweet, pale rubies set in a pale body. They burst in your mouth with every crunch. The red stains your hands, like blood covering your skin.

When I look up, I don't see stars I see the galaxies in your eyes. I watch as they swirl and spin in dizzying ways. The sight is mesmerizing. You are my black hole, and I would willingly fall into oblivion if I could just be with you.
