Best Maturity Poems

As I sit by the window and look out towards the sun,
A half of me says stay, while the other half says run.

I know it's part of life, to grow older with each day,
but the older that I get, the more I want to run...

Maturity will set you free


Where I once was blind, I now can see
And maybe you should pity me.
For a youth I am no longer,
For a man I have become.


Now I am much wiser and stronger than you could realize;
For I am now deafened, 
To the...

No longer do I have to work,
though more money would be nice,
I only have to sit here
and to take my own advice.
There’s more to life than money
though it’s now quite hard to see
why still I feel I have to seek
a job that’s paying me.

It’s the...

Two prates,

sick paste,

wanton waste,

yet terrible brain.


One more way,

for me in the daze,

then the song with the wait,

then the bong and your faith-

yes it's gone,
but no you're still to gait-

you're still to frame,

you're still to blame....

The apples ripen red, delicious
On the tree 
Then fall
Where animals feast
And insects crawl  
And creep
Under their skin  
Rotting them from the outside in....

Maturity              "For Adult Contest"     

I walked in to the truth, when I became a man; maturity hit me
Like a cotton sock filled with sour notes and hormone-hubris shouts,
The...

Have you ever wondered? 
Being in an adult blunder 
A reason for going to class 
Besides the well-known intellectual pass 
Is it to learn the alphabet?
Addition subtraction you may get
Going to the swing set for fun 
After morning school work is done 
Lessons get tougher...

Erik Erikson
described U.S. culture
as stuck in adolescence,
and a more feminist Erika Fromm,
or Erik Erikson,
might have added
Nationalistically stuck in patriarchal adolescence.

Yet in the normal course of biological events,
and spiritual evolutions,
each life,
individual and cultural,
unfolds a rudder.

Each rudder has a Tipping Point,
acting like a pre-deductive 
adolescent-curious 
rudder,
manipulated by...

MATURING

Yesterday, I plunged into a whisper.
The fiery red marquee that blasted my existence disappeared,
Like a B-film star at the Oscars,
And only a faint shadow obscuring its source remained.

Today, I began to climb a mud puddle,
Sweating brown slime and panting organic putridness
Like a Ferrari submerged in...

The mental stumble,
And gastric rumble,
And clumsy fumble,
Uncalled for grumble,
And frequent mumble,
All while you bumble
Through life boldly
And getting oldly....

Within my life much,
if not most of my time been spent
and as time makes no delay
I make haste for where my joy went.
I look back, so not forgotten
all the things that shaped me so,
try to make most of the present
but the future its fruits to...

Ten different toes are got from two feet
hence diversity and differences are the exact definition of man
exchange of ideas has come with great heat
but modesty and maturity can compensate like a running fan
even in the face of conflict, the human mind should be kept neat

In the middle ages
these roughed and scuffed decades
between newborn crocus snow-melt-nursed and
dried hydrangea blooms sepia-skinned and papery thin
I earned the right to wear sapphires
and burn my mademoiselle mistakes with wisdom-fires

it took me a while to grow into my autumn season
—the autumn side of September
hair once...
