Mind and Heart are defined, as something connected.
Something to be treasured deeply and respected.
And yet, I feel as though my heart and mind are separate.
My body split into two bodies, heart and mind.
Two beings I don't control, yet can bend to my will.
Perhaps it's my age, my experience, my defective nature.
Feeling as though I'm too young to understand, but to old to be clueless.
This fickle nature feels like a war for control. Do I lead my life empty and logically?
Or follow that path, so many traveled through emotions.
A place I know I've been but can never quite grasp, I can never get angry.
Anger? it is a coin is it not? A coin that on the other side of, is joy.
A balance. Between joy and pain, life has always been that way but I can't enjoy it.
I never have, and yet I crave what I can't touch, though unlike Icarus.
I fear of what would happen when I touch that sun.
Would I fall into my mind, like the ocean below. Doomed for my fragile wings to melt.
Or would I soar, flying to wherever my path may lead.
I fear what that would bring, the uncertainty of it all. Yet I know logically, I'd be fine.
There that is again, logic. The funny thing that's been at my side, I can always rely on my mind.
But is that the right choice? Maybe I could find that balance, reunite the two bodies back into mine.
But that's a foe I can't face yet, but in time I hope to fight with my head held high as the victor.
But mind and heart are defined, as something connected.
Is that something I can learn to treasure deeply and respect then?
Can I ever hope to reunite the two as I am?
I can only try, by taking that leap of faith into the open sky.
Hoping I can spread these fragile wings of mine and fly.
One day, my heart and mind will be unified as one. No longer two halves but a whole.
One day, I'll hold that sun in my hands, and fly to wherever I desire.
Full of emotions as I am with the knowledge to think clearly.
One day My Heart, Mind, and I will fly.
My first poem on here, one of soon to be many. I hope it speaks to you, as it did me.
