Write a poem about choosing between following your heart or following your head.

My heart yearns to be free;
To run away to distant lands
Filled with flowers and beauty unmatched,
But my head stops my dreaming.
I cannot run to peace;
I must stay here and learn to work.
Everyday I’ll live in a cycle
Of sadness and despair.
Will I follow my heart to joy?
Or will I be forced to follow my head
To a life not wanted?...
“It’s your choice,” she said.
One says to leave,
The other tells me to stay.
One says to experience the aspects of the high climb,
While the other says to lay low, and go through the caves.
This side tells me to sleep,
And the other says to eat.
To go through the high trees,
With the wind blowing in the breeze,
Or to float in the ocean,
With your plugged ears.
“It’s your choice,” she said....
I’m in love
My mother says it’s not real
That I’m too young
Maybe she’s right
But I know she’s wrong when I’m with them
The way they make me feel
Feeling their pain when their hurting
The warmth of them wiping away my tears
Knowing their disappointment when they see
marks on my wrists
Begging them to run far away with me
Them enjoying my oddities
And me enjoying theirs
My mo...
Your heart beats true even when your mind is being cruel . You can never go wrong following what you feel because you are following in other words ; you .you’ll never hear me say take the easy route but in this case take the easy route. Just when in doubt follow what makes you happy although it may seem illogical this life is meant to be experienced not seen as a problem meant to be solved ....
Do I follow one or
the other. The other that
tells me things that
I know are not true.
The other that
tells me that I am
worthless.
That I am
unkind.
That I am
not who I thought I am.
Do I follow one or
the other. The other that
tells me not to listen
to the million little criticisms
and the hundreds of thoughts
that I don’t want.
The other that
tells me that I am
able to do whateve...
In the quiet of of dawn
when the world lay still,
A conflict awakened
A tempest of will
A war raged deep
in the chambers of me
Where the heart and head met
Demanding to be set free
I stood in the center
A soul unarmed
Dreams in my eyes
Yet Doubts in my chest
The heart surged with passion
Vibrant and bright
While the head sought solace
With the reason and light
The heart
Dreamily ...
The war between the heart and the head is persistent….
They do not agree
The heart says “love”
The head screams “bloody murder!!”
The clearer the heart
The foggier the head
The heart’s disregards match
The head’s warnings
What shall one choose?
The heart or
the head?
The dreamer or
the realist?
One thing is for certain
They both need each other
One can not function without the other
Giving ...
It has always been a constant battle
Head versus heart
But
Truth be told
Neither are them are wrong
They both want what’s best for us
They might have different ways of showing it
The head making us overthink
Or the heart making us feel way too deeply
So the hard truth is
We just have to find that inner peace
Between both the heart and the mind
It’s exactly like the ying and yang
We need...
The chill of winter’s breath draws near,
It is sharp as the man’s own blade.
Silver gleams from reflecting snow,
Delicate as a harp to the untrained ear.
A beautiful weapon if just for show,
Yet lethal in the hands of a man.
The golden hilt is cold to the touch,
But the man would never dare let it go.
The wolf bares its teeth,
Sharper than any sword.
It growls, starting to retrea...
Heads are like Coconuts
Hard
Some, nearly empty
Hearts are made of Honey
Sweet
Some, with a hardened cast of stinging bees
Two ears and a fork in the road
One will keep secrets while the other tells on you
Coconuts and Honey
Both can be petrified
Both can be made of stone
Both can be complementary
Both can decedent...
