Today I take the gauntlet
Today I fight my devils
My self created ones
Imagine!
They all grown up now,
My vanity
My fair
Fantasies
My good friends though,
Always agreeing with me,
But now we must part ways,
Not necessarily enemies
Adios,
But I must need leave.
They say am a man now,
Catalogues of anticipation,
And you my Friends,
They say will hold me back,
So we must need part ways.
I step forward, Not knowing anything,
Except am now a man.

You will quickly make new friends
You appeal to us all,
Farewell, I must need leave,
They say am a man now.

You tried bro. I didn't see much metaphors though. I guess this is a poem about leaving people behind in order to grow and conquer new things? Nice try.
