How can I not
Let my emotions rule me?
They are me.
You are talking about head over heart
Heart over head
But the two are hand in hand
And to let one rule alone
Would result in a little death,
Paralysis, confusion, and despair.  

My head determines
What my heart feels
And I can try to master those thoughts
For my own good –
I regularly do, I try –
And always fail.
Heart-thoughts creep in
And I want them to.

My head knows what would be best for me
In a dead and sterile world
Without anger, love and laughter
Without sadness, joy and tears.
My heart disregards chaos,
One is impulse, the other is control
Combine, and hope for a middle ground
With no exclusions, all can be examined
Heart, and head, together,
Will help me find my way.
