In the mirror he sees a reflection
Fragmented and flawed, a soul in question
Seeking to define his own version of manhood
Through trials and errors, misunderstood
He stumbles and falls, falters and fails
But never gives up on the epic tale
Of becoming a man of steel, unwavering and strong
Of becoming a man of God, where he truly belongs
His heart spills forth in lines of poetry
Each word a step towards his destiny
To find the courage to face his fears
To shed his doubts, wipe away his tears
In the realm of verses, he finds his voice
A beacon of hope, a guiding choice
To stand tall, to stand true
To become the man he always knew
Through the darkness and the strife
He forges his path, embracing life
With each breath, each line, each rhyme
He becomes the man of his time.
