Enemies of the past Wondering how long it will last The fear of you I do not have For you to think that is rather sad You do not pose a threat to me Someday finally you will see The violence I have overcome Apparently has not gotten there for some We seem to be at different levels With different scores, different settles With no thoughts of friendship Let me let you in on a little tip The level of my maturity A level where you don't seem to be Where only now matters, forgetting the past Because everyone knows the future is coming fast Where being myself means more Where i'm happy right down to my core An acceptance of what i cant change Seeing what i can at full range Where bills are more than a task Letting me know I have my own back Where life isn't a game and people are not pawns Where life is living with all the rights and all the wrongs A mind I can control, A mind I can call home Because being mature is about understanding not just being grown
