devil
From market
I bought a mirror
It is not
An ordinary one
It has a magical
Value
If you see in it
It will not reflect you
But your inner core
When I saw first in it
I was frightened
As I saw the devil in me
It is huge one
Yet till date it remains in visible
As I never wished to be
Yet I am
It comes out into
Open when I am in anger
Or driven by
Greed and lust
Or in me I lack
Confidence and trust
And I keep claiming
That I am an angel
But now the fact is clear
That I am also an owner of an animal .
