I'm getting there
I can feel it
Being the person who I want to be
reaching my full potential
being self aware
but for now not yet
be patient
I promise I'll get there
a year or two
a decade or maybe soon
but don't give up
cause sometimes, I too
feel surrender
but you, but "us"
makes me want to continue
don't ever let go
be angry
but be forgiving
be irritated
but be permissive
be pissed
but listen
be of good counsel
but be passive
be in control
but know that I too need my space
let me stumble
so that I may stand on my own
let me screw up
so I can fix my mess
let me learn
let me live
let me be
cause when I"m finished with myself
It's you who I'll go home to
cause when I propel my own life
when I am finally who I want to be
I will still love you
like the way I love you right now
or perhaps even more
leaving me now
giving up on us right now
cannot and will not make me get there faster
and if you love me
if you really mean it as you say you do
see me now as to who I can be
be satisfied with me,
with the youthful exuberance of my love
'cause that exuberance might be the biggest part of me that you might miss
beneath this sheet of youth
is a man who can exceed your expectation
be patient, I am not done with myself yet...
