POETRY

The War Within

My heart questions every act I do,
But my mind explains the logic.
One speaks magic, one speaks proof
Yet they stay under the same roof.
My heart dreams about the stars above
But my mind asks "is that enough?"
One speaks about something that no one can see
And the other speaks about something everyone can agree on.
I stand, between dreams and the reality
Trying to find clarity
Yet, they both argue, day and night
About what is right.
