The heart or mind...?

[amberputis]

I begin to fight both sides of the arguement.
I don't know which is more powerful, the heart or mind.
It seems as if they're pointing me in seperate directions.
Suddenly, all emotions begin to unwind.
They cause me to act in a way I probably shouldn't,
I let them take out the worst in me...
I know thats not really the person I am,
and definitely not the person I want to be.
But at this point, I can't find a way to be happy.
It's almost like it's too late.
The things I love the most have been taken away,
not a single person can relate.
I know that as time goes on, things will get better,
I need to let life take it's course.
Although the walls are caving in,
I'll let them shift, instead of being forced.
I have once pushed those walls,
which resulted in a more difficult situation.
Not only was that a mistake, but from it I learned
And within learning, theres hardly a greater sensation.
Even after breaking down, I still don't know the answer.
I feel likle I've looked, but don't truly know what I should find.
Once again I have questioned myself without an outcome,
I still don't know which is more powerful, the heart or mind.

i don't know if the heart of the mind is stronger...i like to believe that i can control my mind, so i want my mind to be stronger, because i dont' like being weak
that is a very good poem!

The final line of your poem sums up one of the most intriguing questions of antiquity that has for centuries plagued the human experience... My grandmother always said," listen with your heart, but follow your mind,"...she was a wise woman...that advise has served me well these 40 plus years...
