The Angel in Me

By Jenitta Sabu

I stand in front of the mirror to see the real me,

but in the end, I feel there is nothing special in me.

Then I glance through your sketch which portrays me,

and with immense joy in my heart, I find the real me…

When I stand in front of the mirror facing me,

I can only see those mere flaws in me,

But when I see those painted sheets with me,

that’s when I cherish the true inner beauty in me…

When I hear people passing judgment on me,

I stay quiet as if that is all only true about me.

But then I saw those colorful strokes shaping me,

and I realized how you only see the best in me.

I can't ever compensate the pain you took for me,

I don’t know what motivates you to do this for me.

But one thing I know for sure about me,

you are the one who sees the angel in me…
