POEM STARTER

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

Heart Or Brains

My mom says I should always think with my head first. She says, if you have enough brains everything else in life is easier. Always make the smarter decision instead of pushing it away. Not using your head makes you weak, and using your heart makes you even weaker. But,Sometimes when I make choices I stop and ponder the thought of using my heart. Of doing what’s right for me, instead of others, or whatever makes me seem more intelligent to everyone else. Sometimes I want to lead with a pure heart like the people my history teachers go on about. I want to be known for being honest to not others, but myself. The constant inner-battle between my brain and this organ that makes me feel all sorts of feelings that differ from each other stops me from listening to my mother. Sometimes, I think, what if I use my heart? What if I say yes to the boy who is slightly different from other boys? What if I give up my ranks for others who work harder? What if I sit down and instead of thinking, I feel. In another world ,feeling could be the best emotion you can possibly have. Maybe people will even show them proudly. But in this world, everyone uses their heads and not their heart.
