In the mirror, a reflection, unfamiliar yet known,
A shifting image, a face that has grown,
Eyes wide with wonder, confusion, and fear,
A child’s innocence, now not so clear.

Whispered secrets, a heart full of dreams,
Emotions flowing like untamed streams,
The world seems different, colors more bright,
A dance of shadows, between day and night.

Voices changing, a symphony of new,
Awkward movements, as the body grew,
Friendships deepening, and sometimes they break,
A mosaic of moments, the choices we make.

Through the storm, a calm appears,
Embracing changes, shedding tears,
From bud to bloom, a soul refined,
Puberty’s path, uniquely defined.
