There is a man in here
And he means well.
A normal, average, sturdy man
A good father, a reliable friend, a warm smile, a piercing stare
But at the odd age of 25
I haven't found this man
I think it is easy to act mature
I've seen 7 year-old girls play it off
"maturity" seems to be missing the point
Getting older means being more useful
Useful to oneself especially
As long as I'm confused, I am a detriment
As long as I am uncomfortable with smiling, I am not yet that man
As long as I am alive, I will be on a quest to meet this man
