Hermes, Hermes,
What’s it today?
You provoke them, spewing the things that you say.
Talking misfortunes in an upbeat way;
skewing perception -
boastful display.
Moving, persuading, audiences of your play,
could not have anticipated the anguish at bay.
‘A catalyst,’ You’d proclaimed,
iris shadows the dismay.
The windows to your soul are in shambles…
“Right this way!”
Sails winding paths where memories lay.
Nostalgic glimpses, a price to pay.
“Farewell, false wise one. Hope you took time to pray.”

Have you ever choked, while crying?
Well, I have, everyone has........ maybe
But what if it isn't the tears
choking you down to death
What if its actually your soul
resisting anymore hurting
Or, what if its actually the fear
The fear of vulnerability
The fear of ending up helpless
Yeah! that's my and maybe everyone's mightiest fear
But what if it's certain
that we all have to go through the worst times
And what if it's certain too
that we'll get better, one day
But what if it's not
What if nothing is certain
And you may have to go through the worst
before that "better" actually comes.
*What if everything is just an illusion
and you are the illusionist
Illusionist of your own fears and what ifs*.

My mind destabilizes
My memory departs
Empty horizons
Dark storm clouds lurk
Laying out the bricks
I'm building up a wall
Now for my latest tricks
Is it you or I behind the bars?
