I am…I am Peter Pan

I am…I am Peter Pan & I’m happily not quite there. 
I am…I am Peter Pan & I can fly anywhere.

I grew up under a haunted house & as I grew I broke it. 
Every time I learn something, conveniently I forget.

I am…I am Peter Pan & I don’t remember love. 
I am…I am Peter Pan & I’ll never know the grave.

I exist inside my own world & most of you can’t find it. 
I’ve collected a couple more & all of us got true grit.

We play games of love & war, but never truly get it.
We keep our hearts behind our walls protecting them from pirates.

I am…I am Peter Pan & I got my friends right here.
I am…I am Peter Pan. We’re all lost in our own sphere.
I am…I am Peter Pan & I got my eyes from stars. 
I am…I am Peter Pan & I fly above my scars.

I see the world through a Painter’s eyes and process it with a Poet's Heart....it's quite a harsh place for the soul. It scratches and wears your true self down, at times, but the Beauty is Addictive. I feel for everyone I encounter. Everyone I encounter is a teacher if I'll let them be. I Empathize with everyone I talk to & I Think about Everything-LEVi
