BANKRUPTING FEAR

Folder: 
JOURNAL #22

when lovers concede to grow up

husbands and wives are born

children fall into the picture

carelessly bouncy in each their

marked arrival

know that I don't ever want to

grow up

at least not with you

so, for the moment

I cling to Peter Pan

he is my fearless guide

till I come to my own senses

long enough

that I am strong enough

to finally grow the courage

to leave...............
