A Man who was a Boy

I laugh, I cry;
I squirm, I shy;
That was when I was a BOY
Now I am a MAN

I try, I fly;
I struggle, I enjoy;
That was when I was a BOY
Now I am a MAN

I loved, I obsessed;
I hated, I bled;
That was when I was a BOY
Now I am a MAN

I eat, I drink;
I sleep, I wink;
That was when I was a BOY
Now I am a MAN

Iam angry, Im sad;
Im aloof, Im Bad;
That was when I was a BOY
Now I am a MAN

I win, I lose;
I cry, I chose;
That was when I was a BOY
Now I am a MAN

I regret, I curse;
I form Opinions, I burst;
That was when I was a BOY
Now I am a MAN

I played, I made;
I craved, I stayed;
That was when I was a BOY
Now I am a MAN

I flirted, I danced;
I smiled, I glanced;
That was when I was a BOY
Now I am a MAN

I loved her, I wished her;
I enjoyed her, I respected her;
That was when I was a BOY
Now I am a MAN

I came, I conquered;
I lost, I pondered;
That was when I was a BOY
Now I am a MAN

25 years over, quarter life ends
The Boy is dead and the Man is in
