THE FALLEN APPLE
                                                                               -Prakriti Shrestha
            Do they find me unpleasant
              Has anyone just maybe,

              Admired the way I look                                         to be not thought of
            The first time they see me?                                       in a world of praise
                                                                          where a man I dropped on

            Came from the roots of the                                     gets the fame and raise
                        earth,
              Was there a foot under,
                Waiting to come up,                                           it’s all about newton
              Just to see this wonder.                                  me, mentioned once or twice

                                                                    yet I’m still not praised like newton
             Can the world not see it?                                 I just add to the story I despise
          I hold something sophisticated

                        inside
                                                                              he’d made a theory
                                                                             a good one I suppose

             I have so much saccharine                                   but if it came from my mind
        Yet cloaked with mud on the outside                         no one would even hear how it goes


         If only someone could nourish me                                  in what world is that fair
               With every bit of purity
               Then I wouldn't be here                                   except our prejudiced world

           Dealing with so much insecurity                            where I’m redeemed speechless
                                                                           so my story stays untold
