Song: I See, Love.
A song of self-love written in 2017.
A poem I wrote for the Open Homes 2017 Performance (Singapore International Festival of Arts), inspired by a lifetime of insecurity from a birth defect with my eyes (divergent strabismus) — corrected at 30.

I’m…I’m no longer
I’m…I’m no longer
That little girl
with eyes..eyes…eyes that stare
Yet they weren’t there
I’m…I’m no longer
I’m…I’m no longer
That young lass
with a mind..mind..mind so bold
Yet a gaze from her soul
I’m…I’m no longer
I’m…I’m no longer
That woman
with achievements…. so clear
Yet peered with fear
Now, now….I see love
Now, now….I see me
Now, now….I see love
Now, now….I see me
I am Here. I am Free.
I am Here. I am Free.
(Switch over to kiirtan, mantra of love)
