I turned 45 a few days ago,
Does that make me old?!
I wish I was still 32,
Does that make delusional - millennial?!
But the truth is, I am a six-year-old,
Playing dress-ups and make-believe in the cubby under the stairs —
I will always live like Peter Pan,
When the world tries to cheat my cheekiness;
And beat out my innocence
I will 'think of the happiest things' as 'it's the same as having wings!'

I will always live like Peter Pan,
When the world tries to cheat my cheekiness;
And beat out my innocence
I will 'think of the happiest things' as 'it's the same as having wings!'
