Time and Mind

Time and time again

Time and time again
The heart will feel the pain
The mind will struggle to be sane
Everything will seem mundane

So build the wall around so strong
Even if it takes far too long
The heart can still sing the song
But the mind won't repeat the wrong

The old lessons did teach
The mind it certainly seemed to reach
The heart perhaps caused a breach
They now feel the pain, doubly each

Questions galore, the mind will ask
In the glorious haze, the heart will bask
Checking reality will become an arduous task
Answer: hide emotions behind a mask

The mind is a powerhouse

The mind is a powerhouse in itself
Will put the feelings on top shelf
So out of reach, won't trust hearts own self
No magic, no fairy, no dust, no elf

The magic was created
The heart and mind, both sated
Open, free, nothing gated
Destiny however remained ill-fated

A leap of faith, indulging in free fall
Happiness forever, the ask seemed tall
Shattered pieces, was a close call
The magic perhaps isn't meant for all

The mind starts to fill with doubt
The heart can't figure it out
The mind wants to scream and shout
The heart silently weeps, no one about
