Lei Strauss Poet Rhyme

Adult World For Adult Contest

Yesterday was tears of my childhood
Today is a chapter of new manhood
What does it take to be a real man?
Does it fall in making a good plan?

I used to think pleasures and my wealth
Erased selfishness for I found myself
I take commitments I never dreamed
Braver than a thought that I should seem.

There are thousands of words that I could play
Well too reserved if it’s needless to say
I take words loud and clear
Face big problems with no fear.

I decide things for a million times
Making sure at end I’m getting no fines
Guess I already know what this life is
Being an adult commits role by all means.
