Emotional Maturity – Written February 2006 (Aged 30)

Emotion Maturity

emotionally mature people
do not cry,
when confronted
with simple truths
emotionally mature people
do not shrink,
when under the spotlight
they do not pretend –
it is them who has been wronged
as if that is a way to avoid the issue
emotionally mature people
do not behave like this
children, young children
learning right from wrong
they behave like this
but not as a grown adult
emotional maturity
that is the true nature
the true nature of somebodies character

James Garratt – February 2006
