Revelled in the Dark

With a reflection so bleak,

I felt weaker and weaker,

Am I ghost like?

With thoughts fading in,

I gathered courage once more,

To have a look at my oneself,

Is that I got detached,

From the love around,

Nor was that I got attached,

To the inferiority that dominated the society,

Though my face was scarred beyond recognition,

Yet my smile was fragrant,

Without any disguise,

My heart was pure,

With a divine piousness,

It was serene and peaceful,

It was then that realisation dawned,

Trying to gesticulate physical beauty,

I failed to appreciate the inner beauty,

That is eternal and much surreal,

To the naked eye,

And revelled in so called'darkness',

Taking out the mask,

I made my steady and brave strides.
