Boy to man

Contributed by none_illa on Monday, 23rd February 2004 @ 06:43:32 PM in AEST
Topic: Lifepoems

All this drama and emotion

Is rubbing on like lotion

I cant understand why it feels so real

Even though I have all the time to let my wounds heal

Im not hurt, I'm thinking of my plans

Cuz its time to take the step and become a man

All this planning and pondering that benefits the stuff thats coming

So I take it all in stride instead of hiding or running

As it comes I sit there and just want to look

Cuz I open up my soul to be read like a book

Its me that seems to have these unlucky fights

All the tiring days paired with my restless nights

If its simple then why must it be so hard?

I shouldnt be afraid to lounge in my front yard

Whats the purpose of life when you dont know what to do?

When you look life in its eyes and its saying screw you

All the troubles and pain as I received as a boy

Is overwhelmed since Im a man and have received so much joy

All these days of being scared because I listened to peoples thoughts

I can care less, because I'm me and all my battles have been fought

All the haters and people who said I couldnt make it

Well Im on top and Im looking down and those people cant take it

I never knew or thought that ME can be one in this place

Ive feel like Ive been racing for 16 years and I just finished the race

If I won in my heart, does that make me a winner

Or since I have made mistakes am I still a beginner?

I dont know or care because my opinion is my own

And no one else feels what I feel, unless I have a clone

As a child doing wrong, was to me really funny

But as a man, to be the best im trying to make money

So as time goes on our maturity changes real slowly

As anyone can tell especially if they know me

So life is life and can be fulfilled if followed

For it is not just a vision or something that is hollow

With time it went from cooties to kissing

And leaving to ditching

From liking to love

And further above

So as life goes on people mature

But as it may seem now its just a detour

All of these things, some say its grand

But these are the steps of becoming a man
