My thoughts exactly
sometimes i wonder what must it be like
to have a father you can talk to
without your breath getting stuck in your throat
or your heart pounding so hard like it'd burst
i wonder what it's like to have a father
you are not afraid of.
sometimes i wish i had a normal relationship
with the one man I'm supposed to trust in my life
instead, I'm afraid of him as am I
of any other man who comes my way
maybe this is what my life is going to be
always running away from every man I've known.
There's nothing a nice cup of chai can't fix

It's ridiculous how the word for today and tomorrow is the exact same thing in Hindi

Have you ever just gone to some dukaan to buy chips and all, and just when you are separating the chips packets, you accidentally tear open one of them? And you have the most anxious 3 mins of your life tryna pay the shopkeeper without them noticing that you've damaged one of their products and then you just RUN AWAY.
