Through My Eyes 🧩

आज़ाद हूँ मैं खुद की नज़र में, जो अगर सब की नज़र से देखूं तो हवालात में दिखूं

Through my eyes, I am a free bird, if I see myself through others' eyes, I will end up being in a cage inside

That is why I say, "Love to me is a bird out of the cage instead of building one more cage together"

I still remember countless things they said, some used to say "be like this" some used to say "do this way" some used to say "are you mad what are you even doing", some said "this can't be a dream you should be chasing", some said "you won't make it", some said "leave it it's not your cup of tea", while some said "look at yourself how will he fall in love with a body and face like this", and people keep saying, keep doubting, keep blaming, keep excluding me out, and I realized it late but being myself cost nothing real except everything fake.

The worst thing someone can do to someone is to make them feel wrong about things they are excited about, the worst someone can do is to make people doubt their existence, the worst someone can do is to make people recall the day when they couldn't make it, and on the other side, the best thing someone can do is to accept someone the way they are, the way they exist, "Eyes might meet first but it is the heart that falls in love"

Not anymore, I am afraid of how people see me or how they look at me because now I am looking at myself, I am looking after myself, and the day when I looked at myself I realized this is beautiful, this is what beautiful is "looking at yourself with love in your eyes"

People see the sky, and some choose the sun, some choose the moon, but there are stars, too. I love stars not only because they shine but also because they shine without being bothered by the other stars shining too. I admire them because they are never ashamed of being stars, even if people admire the moon so much.

The world might see you as they want to see you, but how you see yourself is how God sees you.
