A Problem

By Priya Patel

[CONTEXT: This poem is about the small hurdles of life that we think of it as big problems.]

Hazelnuts and hazy days,

Anger handled not so well.

Hello Kitty hating high

And hit the ball really high.

Dreamcatcher,

Never caught my dream.

All I wanted, 

Is a candlelight dinner with him.

Swimming in my dream 

And drowning in my bed,

When I opened my eyes,

I could have slept on my mat instead.

The life ahead

Might be bad,

So, take a breath

And play till dead.

The wine is calling,

Wanna say, “Hi”.

No, take a turn

And accelerate your steps.

Life is all we wanted

But life is always unexpected.

Success is a dream, so sophisticated. 

Failure is a stair, not accepted.
