The war between the mind and the heart,
Is one a ****** fight,
Where soldiers are lost,
And dignity is stolen.
Whoever comes out triumphant,
Slathered in the opponent's failure,
Reveals our deepest-rooted canals of fear and needs.
If the heart makes its way out,
Limply and broken,
We know of our need to be loved for,
Or of our raging wanting to help others.
If the mind wins this round,
Fail-proof and fueled with logic,
We recognize our trepidation of seeming weak,
Or of our phobia of getting hurt.
So the next time your mind and heart brawl for the spotlight,
Shine a little bit on both,
Because light in great amounts can shatter all beauty.
