Spoken Word: An Angel’s Validation!

I had a conversation with a stranger just to lift my spirits.

And I would like to share our conversation, if you’d like to hear it.

This stranger was beautiful, so strong, so wise.

I found it quite hard to look this stranger in the eyes.

I told this stranger about my life, how I’m weak, and how I’m flawed.

The stranger said that I was perfect and wasn’t flawed at all.

Told me to be brave, be proud, and be strong.

Then said that tough times doesn’t last that long.

Yeah, but I’m poor and I dont have much.

You’re rich at heart and believe me, that’s more than enough.
You treat people kind, you dont laugh at the poor.
You pray for the weak and you’ll be fine, I’m quite sure.

But when will I finally get my chance to shine.

All that you want, will come in due time.
Great things take patience and it may be a while.
But all your wishes are coming, just not right now.

Well, have you been through pain?
You seem so perfect.

I have and trust me, it’ll all be worth it.
I’ve been through it all, just like you.
I’ve seen all your struggles, I’ve walked in your shoes.
I know your heart is pure and I know your truth.
I know that you have what it takes to make it through.
I know what’s it like to cry behind the scenes.
I hear your mind racing and I hear your silent screams.

But I dont wanna be alone, can we do this together?

Absolutely, I got you, we’ll be together forever.
I’ve always been here, right by your side.
You know who you are, just look in my eyes.
You think I’m strong, I’m smart, I’m attractive too.
And you’re all of the above, because I am you.

So wait, are you my angel sent here for my protection.

I am an angel, but no, I’m simply your reflection.
You’ve never needed validation from anyone but yourself.
Your strength is within and you don’t need anyone else.
So on your weak days or when you’re feeling down.
Just look in the mirror, that’s where your angel can be found.

I have what it takes to make it through any situation.
I am my own angel, I am my own validation.
I am a divine creation, by every stretch of the imagination.
Today I claim my strength, today I claim my worth.
Before I ask for the world’s opinion, I’ll validate myself first.
