Heart and mind conflict inside
As I sit in the corner - terrified
No place to run, no place to hide
I watch as yin and yang collide
The mind craves power
The mind craves control
Logic and reason for every hour
Constant restraint for the soul
The heart desires expression
The heart desires freedom
Only room for rash emotion
Let fly ‘till kingdom come
Fight away, fight away
Bicker and argue ‘till break of day
Try to keep them both at bay
Yet the war goes on its own way
Enough I say.
Enough I say!

This is an interesting poem. I love the way you've personified the heart and the mind. Your poem is refreshing and new, though it is written on a subject which has already been written on extensively.
