Almost Twenty-Three

From crawl to walk
The changes I see
but life's so hard
and there's silly me

A quarter I live
yet clueless still
What is life?
Ahead of me

Reflection in the water
blur by life's touch
Steady behavior
There's no thing as such

Growing through living
My newfound fancy
A glimpse of light
'cause I'm almost twenty-three
