BEAUTIFUL UGLINESS
It’s complicated; When we discover answers And the questions change. When we keep on thinking How we shouldn't be thinking so much. I get addicted to flowers. Even though I know that they will dry one day. Still, I keep on watering the plant; Because I have some faith: “Oh yes, they may repay”. But they actually never. Time passes by and they dry up. Not a petal left that beautiful; No more happiness I receive. I never understood. They never belonged to me Yet I kept on trying and trying, Just acting like a fool. And my heart was played; By someone I knew wouldn't. -ANJALI JOSHI
