Peter Pan

I’m not sure how many times it has been
When I wanted to turn back time and 
be like those children again
Being a young adult makes me feel so tired 
and insane
Why do I have to deal with this such kind of pain?
I now understand why Peter didn’t wanna grow up
It’s because this phase is full of hardships;
so hard that it makes you want to just give up.
on everything.
It’s quite saddening
that no matter how much I wanted 
to be young again and stay as one forever,
it just won’t happen.

Simply because
I ain’t Peter Pan
and
this place ain’t Neverland.
