"Mind vs. Heart" poem

Mind vs. Heart

Right now there’s a war going on inside my soul

Should I keep you to hold or just let you go?

Cuz when my eyes see you, my body needs you

My soul wants you, my heart loves you!

But when I’m alone in the dark my mind tells my heart

That we should stay far apart, that’s when the drama starts

Cuz although my mind knows what’s right, my heart knows what I like

But late at night when I close my eyes I begin to visualize

You and I watching the sun rise

But then I get a message from my mind saying it’s about time

I leave the fantasies behind and move on with my life

I guess the war that goes on within will never end

It’ll only die down until I see you again

This is a poem about a young girl’s emotions. They’re torn between two things that are used for judgment, both her Mind and Heart. While her heart may tell her to do one thing, her mind tells her that she’s better of avoiding it. In this case, the emotions are towards a special person in her life. Many young people have situations like this because they feel so strongly inclined to do one thing and at the same time feel as if they shouldn’t do it. This situation is not an easy one but rather a difficult emotional rollercoaster.

This poem is very similar to the one I posted by another friend of mine not too long ago. I feel the same way towards both authors. These wars between the Mind and Heart might be experienced by all at least once throughout the course of life. Emotions are a special thing and can be very strange. They can be so fragile at times and very strong other times. As I have already stated, I think these types of emotional issues can be avoided by not making a person your number one priority too early in life. Instead, adolescents should focus their time and effort towards their school work and other constructive things that are beneficial for the long-run in life.
