If I were a tea bag ____ AKSHR

 

If I were a tea bag,

If I were a tea bag, 

I’d be all crinkling and resilient.

I’d have to be put in hot water

 to reach my fullest potential.

And I’d have to pick the right kind of water

—not too hot, not too cold.

I would want a good amount of

 steep time for myself.

My color would be light brown with some red tones, 

like cherry wood furniture or macchiato.

And when I was done, 

I’d want a good amount of time to cool down.

I would be the kind of tea that everyone needs—

strong enough to be brewed but not too strong.
