Poetry group 2 months, 3 weeks ago HEART versus MIND
Ricardo AlbertorioMy heart says to love you
My mind says to leave you behind
My heart says you need me
My mind says I’m being too kind
My heart says forgive you
My mind says it’s for the last time
My heart says I’ll miss you
My mind says stop being so blind
My heart says that you’ll change
My mind says it’s just too late
My heart says there’s hope still
My mind says you’ve sealed your own fate
My heart says it’s broken
My mind says to cry and move on
My heart says it’s ready
My mind says the heart’s never wrong
Ricardo, I love this and the back-and-forth between the mind and the heart I think is something we’ve all felt at some point. That tug-of-war can drive a person crazy. I know it has for me. I love this piece. I am going to include it in our newsletter today, so please keep an eye out for it! <3 Lauren

Awww! Thank you, Lauren. Yes, we’ve all experienced this “tug ‘o war” internally. Sometimes the mind wins, sometimes the heart wins. Thank you for including it in the newsletter.

Hi! I really love the theme of contrasting the knowledge in your mind with the desires of your heart. It’s fun to see creative takes on age old adeges. Your last line really made me feel something; I felt that in my heart 🙂

Thank you so much, Saga. It makes me happy to hear you enjoyed my poem. If one has to win over the other, I prefer it to be the heart 🙂
