Rational and Emotional

I am intoxicated in the emotional nets
However I  am Lost in rational sky 
I despise my own superficial
And holding  self-esteem and vanity in my palms and shouting:
"It's a shining diamond,
Who could understand its precious? "
In fact, I only kept telling the story of drops in the ocean
Twirling between the gains and Losses


I dream that there is one new sky breaking  through the emotional nets 
After all it just fall into the darkness of reasons
That sublime rational, the reason which I yearn to die
It is like a  holy lotus growing in the iceberg 
My lazy and aloof soul
Can only pay homage to it 
But would never get its favor


The more I struggle in the emotional nets
The more rational travels farther away from me
It is like a parent to abandon me
Leaving me to  the hopeless and helpless

My emotions 
Often as the  tide surging
Starting to flood the rational boat
Another of me
In the emotion of the sea
Are struggling  and crying......
I
Sadly 
Can not afford to save another of is an


I only can see my emotions raging
Can hear my rational shouting 
Letting my emotions struggling inside the  nets
Letting  the rational  boat to be flooded 


My reasons and emotions
Then fight in this Cold War 
Never can tell who wins and who loses
Leaving only pieces of the wreckage after war
then
I
like a poor orphan 
is coldly abandoned between rational and emotional
