Peter Pan Bliss

My Peter pan bliss, my only friend

Please be stuck with me, till the very end

My peter pan bliss, don't let me go

I don't wanna grow up I wanna move slow

My peter pan bliss, I am getting old

And it's time to end childhood, I was told

So, peter pan bliss.

Please let me go

I need to grow up, I can't take it slow

For all I know

the future can't stay foretold

Peter pan bliss, you are suffocating me

in laziness and dread, I can't see a thing

I need to grow up, I thank you for the past

However, this is my last time needing you

At first you were a refuge

but now you are a prison from reality

I need to start taking responsibility

for now, I am 17 - Arie

Side note: this is a variation of a letter I gave to my mom, because I was not preparing myself well enough for the next years ahead of me. I was great academically and making friends but when it came to teenage responsibilities I would undertake to pressure and shut down. I was never fond of change, and I would do anything be like a kid. Furthermore, I gave this letter to her last months of the 2021, but now I am doing better and better every day. Instead of running away from change I try to embrace it.
