Angels by Ashaani Taneja
She was heavenly
She was calm
She was motherly
She was pure
She was peaceful
She was the light
She was enlightened
She was happy
She was free
She was an angel.
She was hellish
She was furious
She was vicious
She was evil
She was restless
She was dark
She was cursed
She was disappointed
She was chained
She was a fallen angel.
