Peter Pan by Hyatt Mason

I haven't grown up like I'm stuck in never-never land
My expectations hold me up so high I'm scared I'll never ever land
Please understand
this was never my intent
words cant describe
interpretations of lament
Sent from heaven
Like tears from god fallen on cement
Sometimes when it rains, it pours
And sometimes on sunny days
My thoughts are still clouded
Every once in a while I get wrapped up
In what has cracked up
to be wishful thinking
But I don't know what to do about it
I'm setting sail for shores adorned with
Seashells, devils in the details
Meanwhile my ship is sinking
But I'm heading that direction
To Somewhere where the wind
dries My face
Where you always feel like you're moving
Even when youre standing in place.
Somewhere with palm trees
& snowcaps
Somewhere between long dreams
& short naps
Somewhere that I know I'll never be.
Draw a straight line to infinity
Because that's the shortest distance from here to there.
Iike unanswerable questions.
Where? When? Now? Then?
I doesnt even matter anymore.
I can convience my self of almost anything
But seldom am I sure
So I implore you
For this second chance
I'm steady trying to get settled
On old debts like a payday advance
I take this fated step
With bated breath
To get a little bit ahead
I see Hindsight 20/20
like I had eyes in the back of
My head
Instead of wishing
On kisses in timbles
I'm tearing out pages
Of dictionaries & hymnals
& its looks
alot like I'm never going to be done
& if a million mile journey starts
With the first step consider this
Number one
