Head Or the Heart

"For each of us there are different meanings, 
When I say the word, ”feeling”

Is your first thought,
From the head or heart

About a pain or ache,
Or emotions to separate

Happiness,
Or sadness

From the thrill of an event,
Or bubbled tears of lament

To have lost or won,
Something or someone

Felt inside,
Loss or pride

How it emotes,
Screams or chokes

Our voice from the air,
It’s sound dependent on how much we care

For how we want things to be,
Always hoping for victory

That the head and the heart match up,
So we can accept, what each teach us

To provide what we are needing,
A clearer understanding of our feelings"
