maturity

When you are young

You like using words

That no one understands

Just to impress

I remember

I used to say

Obfuscate

Instead of

Confuse

it is because

You are low on content

Quality of thought

Breadth of knowledge

So you mask it

With hi-sounding words

As you grow older

Travel

Read

Meet people

Live

There are more suns

On your horizon

A greater need

To be understood

Less patience

With ambiguity

Hallmark of maturity
