Never Neverland
Basically, I was thinking about Neverland after a really bad day. I'm so much of a kid, that I love all the old Disney movies and stories. I got to thinking about Peter Pan, and this is the product of my boredom. I think it's my favorite that I've written.
Sometimes I wish that I could fly
To escape the everyday troubles.
There are times when life gets too hard
Too hectic,
Too troublesome.
Those are times when I want to fly,
Fly away to a place like Neverland
Where there is no growing up
Or parents telling you what to do.
There's just you and the sky and the sea.
All you have to do is think happy thoughts,
And they lift you into the air.
No homework to worry over,
No teachers or bullies or worries,
Just whatever you make it to be.
There be fights with pirates at midnight.
Bonfire meetings with the Indians in the evenings.
Swimming with the mermaids at noon.
Breakfast with the fairies in the morning.
Just to fly away to Neverland
To escape all the daily troubles.
But then comes that awful realization,
Like you're waking up from a dream,
That you have to wake up from your fantasy
And stumble back into reality
Where there are school pressures,
People bugging you back and forth.
There are worries and pains and growing up to go through.
There are no simple happy thoughts
Only a load that keeps you weighed down.
Neverland can only exist in dreams,
Reality muddles it up too much.
It brings in despair and pain and fear.
Neverland fights back with joy and hope and dreams.
Here there be no monsters,
But creatures you invent to help you past your struggles.
Neverland is where we really grow up
Where we learn that we can't be kids forever
No matter how much we want to stay young.
We learn how to defend ourselves against the world.
The negative is to be fought with the positive.
Despair with Hope,
Pain with Joy,
Fear with Freedom,
Failure with Dreams.
Laughter is a far better medicine then any antibiotic.
Friends cure more diseases than doctors do.
Imagining gives more energy than any power bar ever will.
In Neverland imagination rules,
You never grow up,
And Dreams really do come true.
In reality there may be no true love or happy endings
But there are the simple pleasures that give us hope for tomorrow:
Friends
Family
Life
Laughter
Courage
Bravery
Kindness
Compassion
Love
Neverland may be only in our dreams,
But there is something nothing in the world can take away.
It's our hearts,
It's our individuality,
Our feelings.
You might take away our freedom,
Our things,
But you can't take away our bravery
Our courage, what lives inside.
Never Neverland is a place inside everyone.
It may be different to each of us,
But the outline is the same.
Nothing can break us or take us there.
We are alone to our own dreams,
Left solo until we wake up.
So fly away to Never Neverland where you can be free,
For there is no life in despair and desperation.
Everyone needs a little hope and love and peace.
