Thank you, Krishna Walikar, for the honor and your hard work.
Problems’ Peace
Problems, Problems galore gyrating
To a beat only they perceive, thumping
Blood into vessels that can’t cope with ease
As anxiety and worry are a great tease.
Running is a breeze as playing
The ostrich is quite frankly abetting
The delay of facing what you fear,
The problem that has you sleepless, but you revere
Your lack of confrontation that hurts,
You think it would be too harsh and hurts
Others, in reality, the pain is transient
When the logical mind realizes its penchant
For hiding from problems only
Delays the enviable explosion that rarely
Comes without detrimental effects
That affect the resolution of the pests,
That carry within them the ability
To destroy from within peace’s fragility.
