Lost Boy

There is one version of my story that everyone knows And then there is the truth This is how it happened How I went from being Peter Pan s first and favorite lost boy to his greatest enemy.Peter brought me to his island because there were no rules and no grownups to make us mind He brought boys from the Other Place to join in the fun, but Peter s idea of fun is sharper than a pirate s sword Because it s never been all fun and games on the island Our neighbors are pirates and monsters Our toys are knife and stick and rock the kinds of playthings that bite.Peter promised we would all be young and happy forever.
