Maturity

(free verse)

You'll realize, you're matured enough

when you've reached the point

that you contemplate

either your acts

are good or bad,

for your conscience clarity.

Clarity that some friendships

maybe imposed, or faked.

When you distanced yourself 

from others who hurt you

from others who despised you

from others who's insecure of you

from others squeezing the life out of you

Others may say that yes

that is maturity

or simply just saving yourself.

Be mature enough to know when to stop,

when to give back,

when to fight back,

because immature people

maybe wearing the clothes 

of some people around you.

Be true to yourself.
