In the mirror of time, I see
A reflection of who I yearn to be
Dreams woven in youthful haze
Navigating through life’s maze

The whispers of change linger near
As I shed the skin of childhood fear
Embracing the dawn of a new day
Learning to find my own way

With every step, a lesson learned
In the fires of growth, I am burned
But from these flames, I shall rise
Reaching for the boundless skies

So here I stand, on the brink
With thoughts to ponder and dreams to think
A journey of life, just begun
Underneath the endless sun
