I used to wait for Peter Pan by my window
Now I'm in high school and its all ****** innuendos
White lies about cookie jars
turned into police rides behind bars
And friendships that were made with such ease
fall apart and fly away with the breeze
the breeze that is supposed to caress your skin
Like a boy's hand whose heart you thought you'd win
But you're there picking up shattered remains
Of the heart you gave away to gain...
But you lose everything when you grow up
And all the sudden you have no luck
Your days of running and being free
Are replaced and you don't know what to be
You've lost all your innocence
in what seems like merely minutes...
Years fly by and your left cold
And you can't even picture the days you'll grow old
Because with you're life falling apart
and all you have left is your broken heart
you see yourself ending it now
taking one last final bow
on this stage of life you're only in act one...
and you have people telling you to hold on
WAIT...
So you do
and you'll see, its true
Those small things you hold onto
like when you saw peter pan and he flew
and you remember childhood and those small things
and hope one day to see and ring
from a new man to love
who was sent from above
and a friend you find
it all just takes time...
Time to heal the wounds you have
time to let yourself feel sad...
And peter pan can't save you now
but that doesn't mean you take a bow..
Your final act has not come
you don't get to decide, fate does.
Its hard, I know, to see
but please take it from me
Those small things count
Even in such small amounts
And time does hurt
but theres so much worth
And soon you will see your life will be
so much better than you could've dreamed.
So don't listen to the boy
who stroked your cheek and acted coy
who broke your heart
and tore you apart
and left you there to cry
It doesn't mean they all lie.
And do not let the girl
who said you had the world
make you think that you do not
when she leaves an empty spot
in your life. You will realize
that not everyone can compromise
and that not everyone is ready to grow up
people make mistakes, become corrupt
Friends will leave loves will cease
and you will be left on your knees
praying for some kind of change
asking why things can't be the same
as when you were a child
and problems were mild
But you're growing up, now entering adulthood
and you keep wonder if it would
be different had you said no to that coy boy
or that friend who used you like a toy
abused you like children do
but you will become brand new
when you find who you are
you'll see you've come far
from the child in the window wishing
and the teenager missing.
Life gets better I promise.
Believe me because I'm honest
in the way things are now
as scared as you are how
things will get better,
doesn't matter the weather
the storm will pass
and in its wrath
it will change and define you
you have no clue
how you will find
that in time
the wounds will heal
and you will feel
alive.. finally alive
You will survive.
I am not the little girl waiting
I am now the young woman chasing
her dreams and goals
and breaks all the rules
and found herself
despite how she felt
when she was weak
and saw defeat.
Now I'm ok
and I see the way
to live and be
and you will see
I'm right
don't fight
youself...
It'll be ok,
I'll show you the way...
Away from dreams of your childhood
and hoping and wishing people were good
The past is gone
and I'm not wrong
I swear you'll see
what you can be..
Work through the pain
accept the gain
It's not the end
You DO have friends
Walk away from the window little girl
Come and see the world.
I've never really written and poem that rhymes, its not my thing because I always fell ironically childish doing so. But I hope yall enjoy. Let me know.
