I am the head,
the uppermost extremity
of the body,
where the brain sits
that has the capacity
to doubt and judge.
No matter how hard life gets,
everything has a way out,
for I am the seat
of the intellect
that aids one to select and correct.
I am the heart:
the core of one's being.
It symbolizes love
and binds everybody
into complete unity.
Everyone follows the heart:
where all dreams,
desires and passions live.
It is where true happiness
fully reigns.
I am the body,
Head or Heart, Heart or Head,
you are parts of my totality.
No one should be above the other,
for you complete my personality.
The head must advise the heart.
The heart must inspire the head.
When it is time to decide,
we must adhere to what is right.
But I have this inner struggle,
it is a clash between
what you know
and what you feel.
I am in love.
Shall I follow
the dictates of my head
or shall I accede
to the beats of my heart?
I am completely lost.
All I know,
everything is right
when you are in love.
