Mind and heart
Not always the best of friends
One thinks
One feels
And when out of balance they tumble and collide
Bumping into each other and fighting for the same spot
A type of sibling rivalry
One claiming common sense, the other understanding
One logic, the other love
Each having something to offer, each flexing its muscles
This battle within me
My mind knows, but my heart feels
And sometimes the two are complete contradictions
Both part of who I am, both fallible
Help me to know when to listen to one or the other when they bicker
Or to calm them both down and help them work together
Help me to hear you above the noise that they make…
