A Peter Pan Tale Of Sorts
By ellie-jelly
30 September 2006
Coming to terms that growing up in a certain manner may not be the best interest for this individual. It's time for her to realise she can live life without feeling so restrained.

There's a time in a girl's life when she realises,
She's all grown up,
Time to be a big girl,
It's time for her to take her posters down,
Cleanse her sacred corner of fame,
Time to say farewell to the faces she'd see daily,
Such friendly smiles.
The posters will fade from her walls,
Replaced with nothing,
an adult no nonsense approach.
When the last smile is wiped from the wall,
the smile is wiped from her face.
Pale, cold walls, could this be the world?
Though the time has come for change,
She doesn't want to change herself,
just the wall for now.
Leaning against the blank wall,
It's cold and smooth, though it feels rough at the same time,
She eyes the toys on her pillow,
Along with posters, they comforted her,
Holding the toy dog in her hands, she changes her mind,
She may be grown, she may be older,
She will create her own world.
A pipedream it may be, but it looks better than the cold blank wall.
She'll live life her way;
She'll be her own drummer.
When the last smile is returned to the wall,
the smile returns to her face.
Yes, she's an adult,
and she'll approach the world her way,
Nonsense included.

I'm not a big poetry person, but this was great stuff.  
 
Good point made, that when you come to a new threshold you don't have to throw ALL the old stuff out - you can make as many, or as few, changes as you like.
