My whole life I've been told
     to act my age
But what does that
     truly mean?
I have two different ages
    one that I look,
one that I feel.
So which
am I supposed to be,
  or is it something
     in-between?
I still watch Disney movies
   I know the words to all the songs
But at the same time I've seen other movies,
  movies with violence, gore, and ***
So which one is my age?
I sleep with stuffed animals
I'll usually be reading
    a fairy-tale.
Yet my dreams don't involve
            happily ever after,
my dreams are harsh,
     full of reality.
That feels like a
           dream.
I'm somewhere
   in-between.
People keep telling me
      "Act your age."
But I don't know my
               age.
In fact I don't think
   I have one.
Growing up is
not a thing,
So I can never
  truly grow
          up.
Like Peter Pan
                   I
am stuck in a perpetual
          NeverLand.
Never really changing
Never truly aging.
   It's impossible to
            grow up,
so why do we try?
I don't know why.
  But I will never ever
      never
             Grow Up.
(And really why should I?)
