Learnt Poem by Vidushi Khera

Been a slave to my dreams all my life
And woken up each day just to find
I can't be who I am, I can't be free
I’m in a world that's not meant for me
They said I was wrong, they said they were right
They said I had started all the fights
And I wondered if the world had shown me it's back
Or was I the one staring into the black
And for the first time I looked inside
The place I thought I was meant to hide
Never before had I searched my soul
And I never knew before all that it could hold
It was then I realized that I could change my life
And turn the tide so time would be on my side
And now I’ve broken all my dreams, coz I realize
Reality is so beautiful I can see it before my eyes
I’ve stopped looking forward, stopped waiting for the future
Coz I realize the beauty in what the present has to offer
I’ve stopped making promises, stopped constructing plans
Coz I know god's compass will take us all in its hands
I’ve stopped feeling bad about things and found their better side
Ever since I’ve opened my heart, my eyes have been opened wide
And I’ve learnt to see, learnt to look into things
And learnt to understand the hidden meanings
I've learnt from loving myself, even for the mistakes I’ve made in life
Learnt to win over my weaknesses and the bad things in my life
I’ve learnt that love has power, the power to change
And that in the bounds of love, nothing is out of range
Now I know I can be myself and still belong
And when I sing the world will sing along
Now I know and I can reason why
Love can never change, never fade, never die.
