Listening To My Heart Poem by Zainab rasool

Got so much to say, but don't know where to start,
Suddenly I heard a sound, was it from my heart.
Baffled in my mind, wondering which way to go,
I grapped my thoughts.
And in quietness i looked inside my heart,
I saw an over-comer,
It seems so overwhelming,
was it really me? or someone i don't want to be.
Trying to listen to my heart,
I realized I was lost away so far.
Trapped in the rules of this world,
I forgot living for thyself,
my heart was pleading and screaming these words to myself.
I listened to my heart,
and i know there are many things to be changed,
life goes on and there is nobody to be blamed.
Yes! in the quietness of my mind,
I was listening to my heart,
a heart that was meant to be healed,
and i was trying to be me.
Rebuilding myself from foundations,
I am breaking free from my restraints.
Now, by listening to my heart,
Do you wonder where I might be?
I'll tell you now, just this once That finally I am Free....
