Didn't see him weeping after ten,
he wants to become a man among men.
As the moon wakes at night,
he remembers his childish sight.
Waiting impatiently for the hairs to grow on jaw,
the Adams apple sounds a little bit raw.
As the sun sets under the burden of responsibility,
the society demands mascularity.
The differences Lord made to embrace,
seem more like a social taboo to chase.
The male ego and the rage,
they say it's all common in teenage.
Just wanted to let you know that I woke up early today
I didn't wait for the rooster to wake me up
Like I normally do
I've got my materials, my words keep flowing
Right now as I write, I have two poems
Going back to back in my head
And I have like ten new titles to create poems with
I did my homework just as you asked
I read many books, to increase my writing mascularity
I now know many vocabularies, you would be proud of me
My grammatical progress, amazes me
If I had to rate myself on a scale of 0-10, I'd say an 8, and eight is my favorite number
I look at me, and am like, did I do that?
Just wanted to inform you of my maturity
In the literary world
The art, creativity and skill dance in a polished style
No more are the brakes on, as I soar higher and higher
Just thought, maybe, you'd love to hear that
