a little draft of a poem/song (???) i’ve been thinking of hehe

—
the slope of my nose, the bump protruding out
petite lips with a sharp upper middle cut
big brown eyes that admires the world on
mahogany like skin that glints bronze in the sun
my family told me that I looked like my favorite aunt
and that meant more than any compliment a boy has ever said
to any girl like a clean cut doll
my mother said my nose was like my grandfather’s when he was young
When he lived in Pakistan and spoke in my omitted mother tongue
i wish he were still sitting on that sofa and i was still his young innocent granddaughter
but now my mind is gaunt and he’s buried six feet under
green and white were my soil
but I’ve been poisoned with weeds of red white and blue
I won’t let those colors destroy my family’s faces too

Desi Coquette Aesthetic (chefs kiss)
Desi Coquette is so underrated, we mostly see south asians in the standard colours like red, but never really pink, which is a shame because brown + pink is a wonderful colour combo!
