Neverland

by Bethan   Feb 20, 2006


Apparently there's a place for us all in this world,
Believed ordained by God, or destined by fate,
Some bound to be the rich man,
Others the poor man at his gate,

I'm not sure if I believe in God,
I've been through too much to have belief,
But I know that to survive what I have
I had to have hope of relief.

I used to dream of a place that was perfect.
A place without this battle to survive,
somewhere to prove this struggle worth it,
Where there is no fear from which to hide,

Hoping for something to heal these scars,
I used to believe in fairytales n' wish on stars,
Until one day I had no more fear,
For that magical place, it was finally here,

If you've ever had a dream of an Eden, a paradise,
A hope of a brighter day, a hope of a better life,
Believe you can, and you'll find it too,
close your eyes. and let it come to you,

It's the place that exists, that's lost in your dreams
There's the sunset over the ocean, the glittering streams,
those mountains, those hills and expanses of green,
That family you never knew and yet always had been,

In this place I've discovered and christened never-land,
There's hope for us all, and a future to plan,
Find comfort among friends and solace in their tales,
Knowing you're not alone allows hope to prevail,

Never-land could be the place of your salvation,
Where you may realise the beauty of creation,
and You may find without anger and pain,
your spirit restored and your soul born again.

    4 some1 hu dnt believe in God, u made some really strong biblical references, it shows that you actually do think about what ur writing. i really liked: "Where you may realise the beauty of creation,
    You may find without anger and pain,
    That your spirit is restored and your soul born again" this part was beautiful cos in the here and now we dont realise the small things in life. and the image i get from the last part, is somewhere where total tranquility reigns cos nowadays ppl r killin eachova. very thougtful poem. loved it 5/5

    Yeah. i see what you mean, it's total crap...NOT! love, you really, really need to take pride in you writing, especially when it's as good as this. i mean seriously, look at the creativity in each stanza, in each rhyme, in each line and word. it's great. you write so creativly and intelligently. the way you exressed your passion and thoughts exceptional, and the way the poem travelled was wonderfully captivating. once again my love, you have succeeded in a fantasticly written poem...and if i hear any more of this 'i don't like it. it's crap' then i'm going to have to do someting drastic...like shoot you...or at least doosh you in your head, lol.
