Musings on lemon seeds- 1

Five years ago I was pretty.

But unattractive.

Now, I can turn a serious number of heads

I don't know the magnitude tho

I don't know what about me is pretty

or how beautiful I am

or why I am attractive now

I haven't had anyone observant enough

to tell me that.

On one side I am relieved that 

I haven't been examined that close by anyone 

on the other I'd still like to know..

Do you know the famous saying that goes

"When words tail, flowers speak" ?

The official quote for

Cheap plastic buckets in Kerala.

I had one too..cheap, un aesthetic..but pink.

With disney princess stickers on it's sides

(that's why I bought it)

It did its job so no complaints...

They made me feel that one is attractive 

when they are given flowers.

But when I think about it,

My flower count till date is a dashing three..

Two of them, I forced my friends to get me

And they where annoyed enough 

To get me a single flower 

when I expected a bouquet 

Can't blame them.. they're quite exorbitant.

So I'm letting the ambiguity eat me alive

While I'm still trying to get the turmeric paste 

off of my face 💛
