heads or hearts

I was writing with my head too much

my heart too little

even when it was anger or pain

emotion

it still filtered through the grinding gears of my head

the head doesn’t mean to ruin things

but it can have that Lenny quality

petting the animals too hard

hurting precious things

i had to remember that the heart is strong

it can take a good kicking and continue on

it might even break right in half

but it holds onto its qualities

it’s clean

it withstands the fire and the storms

the head has endurance too

but it has a tougher time letting go

write with the heart more

give the head a break
