"People are like Pastry"

Charvi Thaper 2005 (Navi Mumbai)



People are like pastry
They have a lot of layers
The layers they are too many
But appear to be far less

They might seem light and airy
But they're just delicate
So pls Keep them safely
They're too fragile to take

they don't open up easy when they're still a dough
You might get in a sticky mess
If you didn't know

But How'd you know if its apple or cherry if you don't give it a try
It might not meet  perfection
But it still might meet ur expectation
So don't protect yourself by your lie

 they  all have different names
From strawberry to  marshmallow
From lavender to matcha to peach
They're all a distance - a one arms reach..but i think he'd prefer the different one..matcha seems unique


So buy me a pastry
I'd like for myself the chocolate well done
Ik it's too simple ..but it's my favourite one..so lets get the pastry cause I'm famished for desserts..but there's no chocolate labels on the tray ,so it kinda hurts
