He thought she was too plain
And her ideas somewhat insane.
He made her understand she was not good enough.
Or maybe a bit too different!!!
But she was grateful to him
for letting her self esteem dim
Only a true friend can hold up a mirror like this!!
She thought, only he…
She tried to be best in his eyes
And told herself some utter lies
He still nodded in disdain, ‘not upto the mark!!’
His condescending smile.
Till one day, she fell in love with herself
Through the mirror she saw her own magic elf,
ruffled hair, crumpled sari, smoky imagination.
Her blissful smile…
