Heart vs Head
Beyond the exterior roars confusion
A rhapsody of complete destruction
When a heart and head fight
There’s no fair end in sight
Only pain, loss, and acceptance
Of a fate of higher importance
God speaks of perfection
Life speaks of rejection
All opportunities are not guaranteed
All paths are not straight
All choices are not right
But some are clouded
Shrouded
Covered
In the desires of a heart
But one must part
With either the beating
Or the thinking
Somewhere within, deep inside
The answer does hide
Whether subconsciously
Or decidedly
The choice has to be made
And the hurt laid
Beside the road
Too bad the load
Continues to weigh down the bearer
Nothing suppresses the terror
Of picking the wrong path
And ignoring the opposer’s wrath
Is impossible
Is incomprehensible
Is remembered
Forever.
