Grown Man,Child's Mind



Age doesn't mean wisdom using,
big words to emphasize,exterior.
To cover up a wounded heart from,
unpursued talent that has lost it's spark.

A winner inside but really a loser,
thinking you have more knowledge,than others.
All the while never knowing nothing,
a grown man leaves room for learning.

And is not beyond growth but with,
the mind of a child,he remains aloof.
Staying within him immature to the core,
with no new avenues left to explore.
