I struggle to articulate myself
I want to scream and break my pen
Let the ink bleed
In reparation for my heart that knows what it feels
But what the brain cannot form into words
The translation is lost between the two
And my bumbling fingers
Write down only what they are told
They are faithful servants,
Torn between their two tyrannical masters
Heart and Mind
They scribble garbled words and phrases
Fretting and unhappy when neither is pleased
The poor things know its not their fault
But it does not sooth them
They are tools
Unable to understand
That is is their masters at conflict
That guides them in their clumsy movements
Warring between what the brain says is logical and safe
And what the heart aches to express
But past experience foretells
A mixture of recklessness wrapped in cautious vulnerability
Because despite the worry wart mind
The heart will do what the heart wants
I want to scream and break my pen
Let the ink bleed
In reparation for my heart that knows what it feels
But what the brain cannot form into words
The translation is lost between the two
And my bumbling fingers
Write down only what they are told
They are faithful servants,
Torn between their two tyrannical masters
Heart and Mind
They scribble garbled words and phrases
Fretting and unhappy when neither is pleased
The poor things know its not their fault
But it does not sooth them
They are tools
Unable to understand
That is is their masters at conflict
That guides them in their clumsy movements
Warring between what the brain says is logical and safe
And what the heart aches to express
But past experience foretells
A mixture of recklessness wrapped in cautious vulnerability
Because despite the worry wart mind
The heart will do what the heart wants

Ooh-very interesting! I liked a lot of sections of the poem, like "In reparation for my heart that knows what it feels/
But what the brain cannot form into words / The translation is lost between the two / And my bumbling fingers / Write down only what they are told" and "Warring between what the brain says is logical and safe/ And what the heart aches to express". Overall, it's a very lovely piece!
It reminds me of this youtube video!-[link]
Anyways, very nice job! ^^
