Peter Pan Syndrome

I once heard a theory

Called ‘Peter Pan Syndrome’

About girls and boys who never grow up

I get tired of the lies

And the bittersweet goodbyes

About those who always have to win

And invite me to join

A game I never asked to play

I ask my heart

“Why didn’t it go my way?”

Because perhaps

It was never meant to

And yet

There are still many things

In life to do

And hopefully in time

I shall get over you

The heartbreak too

Which I shall not pursue
