Mind V/S Heart

Who would have thought or possibly known

How my life would change, as time turns back,

I retrospect, each moment a little more

I try to understand what I did lack.

Was it immaturity, or immense ignorance?

Was it just plain lack of experienced sight?

When my mind and heart were entangled in war

My poor soul did what it thought was right.

Mind or Heart? If that is what you want to know,

Who won over? Who was proved right?

Though I followed my heart and heard my soul

It lead to agony, misery and plight.

The raging inferno kept glowing more

Engulfed in its flames defeated I lay

Yet satisfied that I was fully aware

Of my actions kept my sense of fear at bay.

Mind or heart? I still ponder at times,

Which one to hear when I am stuck?

Whichever I do, I should feel it's right

Victory or defeat is just a matter of luck.
