I'll Try

by Cheshire's Catalyst

A poem written for the second Peter Pan story, which I love. It is based on the song I'll Try that played during the short scene with Jane in the beginning where she gets upset.

-I'll Try-

You tell me stories
Stories of fairies and pixie dust
I try to listen
But they can't be real

You smile and go by the day
Happy
Happy as if nothing can ever stop you

But all I do is stand
Stand like a statue
In a city
Burnt by crimes and lies

I cry
But I won't let you see
See me broken
Burned

I won't let myself
Be treated like a child
Like I can't stand
On my own

You say things
About faith, trust,
And pixie dust
But why should I believe
When I can't see?

The world turns
But I can't find my path
I can't find my way
To you

I try to understand
How far you and my friends are
I dream of finding my way

I can see
See the faith,
The trust,
The pixie dust

I see the way you guys do
I see what you see

I've tried
I believe
In those stories
Those stories
That I once found
Unbelievable

All because I tried
To fly
