The greys in my hair have taught me nowThat life comes with a share of up and downI've learnt to swim against all tidesBraved the flood when others expected me to drown
Way too many people have come into my lifeWhile some have stayed, most have leftEach of them did teach me a lessonIt made me more strong and not bereft
I celebrate every small highBecause I have seen the lowest of lowsEach day I emerge strongerLearning to adjust my sails as the wind blows
I am bruised, yes, but I'm still braveI'm not scared to be heard or seenNo one can turn me into dustLook into my eyes, you'll know what I mean
I'm not ashamed of my scarsI carry them with strength and prideNo words are sharp enough to cut me downI might stay quiet, but I'll never hide
I've mended my broken partsI've polished my once withered wingTurning my struggles into musicMy success song, I shall sing
I am who I am meant to beWhere ever I go, I'll leave my markI'll sail through even if the light seems dimAs I'm not a stranger to the dark
This piece is inspired by the below song. I heard this song for the first time as part of the Oscar performance and I was totally blown away! It is so powerful, this one. After listening to it for like ten times a day, I decided to write this today.
