Today I became a man.
I experienced the realisation
Of a setting
Of mind, body and soul.
I experienced the realisation.
That the frustrations of youth
Were behind me.
I experienced the realisation.
That I made my own decisions
Chartered my own destiny
And answered only to myself and God.
I experienced the realisation.
That I did not have to explain
My actions to anyone
Nor ask leave of anyone
Nor apologise to anyone
Nor be guided by anyone.
I experienced the realisation.
That I was the deciding factor in my life.
Today I experienced the realisation
That today I became a man.
Today I experienced maturity.
