The Boy Within The Man

He was thirteen within thirty, curious within experience, weak within strength. The boy was still in the man; the boy he so much wished to leave behind. No matter how hard he tried he was bound to the ever active, ever hyper subconscious that seemed to ruin everything he worked hard for.
The boy, though troublesome and unpredictable was a never ending source of joy. The boy within the man brought back smiles only love could bring. The boy brought closure only one could hope for.
The boy was weak and immature. He was the swag that fought the very persuasive class of the man, and battled the mind of the man to settle for nothing less of a perfect explanation.
The man wishes to be perfect and surrounded with accomplished dreams. But the boy hopes for difficulties to challenge him, and dreams to keep his mind awake at night. The boy, despite being young and scared is brave when it's most important while his bearded version walks with a sway of confidence and power but hides when he realizes he is about to face a situation he knows not by the first name.
The boy within the man will always remain. The boy within the man is a force to be reckoned with. Inexperience, fear, and weakness can be out best allies in certain battles. Once, the boy lived within the boy, and everyone expected the boy to be the boy. But with the boy living within the an, there's a lot to do to surprise the world. We are not obliged to follow societal standards to make the world a better place. Unleash the boy within your man, and you'll be amazed how simple and perfect life can be.
