Life As We Know It?
   Well, it is certainly not that much.
A small portion
    of the unknowns of the adult world.
A small glimpse into real life,
   A tiny fragment of reality
   in a multi-colored mosaic.

Life As We Know It?
   Sometimes frightening to be honest,
   Stressful exam weeks
   Rushful evenings of schoolwork
   Enigmas of growing up
   But that’s not the whole thing.

Life As We Know It?
    Is the time when we are opening
   ourselves to the outer world
   like buds getting ready to blossom.
   To show our hidden faces
   To unravel our potential

Life As We Know It?
   Is a blissful challenge to cherish
   our small part of reality.
   To slowly but savoringly broaden it
   with observation, introspection
   and the following colorful discoveries.

Life As We Know It?
   Is the best time to become a larger part
   of the multi-colored mosaic of humanity.
