Hysterics Poem by Janine Alyssa Navarro

hysterics over fancy-labelled fruit extracts
comfortably seated on jade couches,
surrounded by familiar names and faces
yet mind adrift towards a memory
farther than the seas and lands
that resist these trying spirits
fear and loss occupy every attempt
but worries soon vanish into thin air
as a comforting voice whispers in my ear
gentle whimpers, yet reassuring sighs;
all will be well, all will be well
soon will always be earlier than reality,
as long as these hands, remain intact
no matter what, we won’t stop running
