Problems

They are pushed aside

Away in your mind

Like the pair of shoes you'll never wear

They sit on the shelf

Collecting dust

Waiting for you to deal with them

But you don't

You wait on your problems

To solve themselves

But whether big or small

They still remain

Your problems

They pile up

You keep them locked away

So they never see the light

Now this pile

Has become a pool

Soon, you know

You'll drown in this pool

You keep it hidden

Externally, nobody knows

But internally, you're still drowning

And you don't know how to swim

Maybe it's time to learn
