Feeble & Fragile

posted in: Poems | 0

No matter how many times you try to get around the situation you’re still going to have to face it,
Moon around the earth phases,

I can’t seem to stop letting a feeling of emptiness intrude my thoughts,

It’s not a phase, it’s just me,

My future is suffocating me again,
It’s directing me to a path where I might stumble,
It wants me to head in this one direction but I’ve never been into boy bands,

My heart is trying to band together with my brain in hopes of fixing us,
People always give praise or blame to the heart,

If it’s love, that’s one swipe for the heart, let’s give it some credit,
If it’s heartbreak, the answer is in the name, so let’s point fingers at the heart for being feeble,

How about..let’s not.

I have a theory…

It’s my brain that’s responsible for this vast amount of space that rids me of joy,

My heart has been fighting to make the brain happy forever,
And here I was for years holding it accountable for my frowns,

Claiming it was broken,
Discussing its low temperatures,

It’s my brain that was fragile,
It’s my brain that’s into distancing itself from smiles.

My heart may think “I’m in love & happy”
My brain whispers “you can’t trust them”

My heart feels at home surrounded by loved ones,
My brain would much rather be alone,

My brain versus my heart,
My life is a constant war.
