Conflict of Truth

The heart...
The mind...
Our emotions...
The three are ever so often in conflict of truth.

Yet surprisingly, the heart seeks truth through the mind, 
With the emotions felt.

What I may be feeling inside,
May quite well not be what I am thinking,
And certainly not what I want to express or may be expressing.

Confused?
Think about it.

It is true that what is of the heart remains true.
What is of the mind seeks reassurance.

Our emotions...our emotions are ever changing.
I sit and write this poem with joy - Emotion.
In confusion - The Mind
In truthfulness - The Heart
Even more so, there is conflict.
Conflict in what this poem is really saying.
