To See the World Through Others’ Eyes


Once I thought I knew it all,

My mind was set, my pride stood tall.

But then a shift, a change of heart,

And suddenly my world fell apart.

 

What once was clear, now seemed obscure,

The things I knew, I was no longer sure.

My stubbornness had kept me blind,

But now I see, a new path to find.

 

The walls I built, they start to crumble,

As my heart beats with a new humble.

I learn to listen, to empathize,

To see the world through others' eyes.

 

With open arms, I welcome change,

No longer afraid to rearrange.

For growth and love, I strive to find,

A new way of life, with an open mind.

 

So here I stand, a changed person,

With a new heart, a different version.

And though the road ahead is unknown,

I walk it proudly, on a path I've grown.
