I drew a question mark

So once i tried my hands at painting and not much to my dismay i ended up with fainting. All I could draw was the present condition of my mind which was far or more less than a question mark. So, then my this white A3 size paper had a double lined and shaded question mark. Not a big achievement i know, since it had well drawn pencil shadows, so i decided to flaunt it in my living room. 

I am a person who doesn't like to keep my stuffs limited to my room and so everything I did, from makeup and to even breakups happened in this living room,where then the question mark was hanged. 

So now this fellow, my self drawn question mark, started looking me in the eye and tickled even my spine. There were days i sat doing nothing and looking at it during  night. It seemed like a one sided romance and i felt like a seductress who tried to woo that inpenetrable question mark. Also, slowly it made me like itself. 

Now everytime i went out and was late and i couldn't put on my dangles and high heels that others take,i looked at this fellow pinned up and he questioned me "is it required?" and then he even replied "no, run in your sneakers or slippers and let that tiny earring rest on your ears, you don't need to fake " and I did the same. Also, everytime i had a phone call from my not so loving ones and they often asked me about things that I term my personal Affairs, this fellow question mark forced me to ask "do i need to owe and explanation to these not so sweet fellas?" and then i smiled and slammed the cell without an inch of  yell. Even this question mark escaped its friendzone when it called my breakup with a guy who now has become unknown when I made myself feel small and pity, my question mark pulled me out of this relationship - ambiguity. 

And it helped me with  so many other things which i deal now with better clarity. Strange thing about this guy is that it never spoke anything but rather made me speak louder. Now, the paper that holds my question is old but this guy, my self drawn question mark, has made me bold, bold enough to question things that are told. 

Best part about this question mark is that, with it,  the sentence never ends,  instead it leaves behind many ideas over a single topic for me to comprehend.
