You Can Do This

Mind, you can do this
Leave it all unsaid
Look and see and do
But never turn your head

You'll have to take the lead
To make sure that it's through
For the heart won't listen
To anyone but you

Mind, you'll have to fight
It's not an easy task
To never get to say the words
To always wear a mask

Try and keep the heart away
No matter what you do
She can not be trusted 
And she'll get to you too

Sometimes, we've got to preach to ourselves repeatedly! The heart is deceitful; the mind has to take every thought captive. Nice, Sarah.

Creative work penned. A good warning to someone but most people pay no attention. Thanks for sharing. Sara
