In Those Shoes

Folder: 
Endure



Last night in Vishmwa shoes

Lying on a bed of arrows

Waiting for the ooze

To quench sorrows.



Draped determination

No Arjun came to rescue

Nor there was one to

Nurse a core vacuumed.



Those descriptions of

Feelings if probable only

In fictitious epics, then

Why do we undergo stress?
