I called my lack
The absence of interest
I had no strength,
Crawled like an infant
But somehow I knew
While drowning in quicksand,
I couldn't get a view
Thus, I gave my harvest
And shared my few
During those moments of weakness
And feeling blue
But this time I choose
To flood this pool
My Cup of Hermes
You are always full

hmn well i learned someting new
haven't heard about the cup of Hermes before, so I liked that reference. maybe the narrative is lost on me. is crawled like an infant a reference to 1 cor 13? maybe im grasping at straws here. also I like your rhyme scheme
Lol no.. but I like that
Lol no.. but I like that reference. An empty "Cup of Hermes" equates to lack of enthusiasm, creativity and strength... hence "crawled like an infant". Thank you for reading. I'm glad you liked it
I too
am happy to learn about the cup of Hermes.
Always like the kick of hope.
I think you don't need the space here,
Thus, I gave my harvest and shared my few
During those moments of weakness
And feeling blue
Just my opinion
Thank you for sharing.
