Whiplash

Souls together, hearts apart,
trying to finish but yet to start,
No water but trying to drown,
faking a smile when you want to frown.

Eyes see and ears hear,
the brain tells you the course to take,
but it is the heart that houses your deepest fear,
and wants to influence the decisions you make.

And then begins the great war,
between the logic, the reason,
And the emotional scars,
The night is still, the air so thin,
As the battle rages on within.

You dont choose black,
You dont choose white,
Cause between them you see a tinge of grey,
And this is where you choose to stay

Now you think that you are safe,
Truce between the heart and mind,
And on this tightrope you will forever stand,
And leave your troubles behind.

But this silence is a storm,
This whisper is a shout,
This right is a wrong,
your conviction is in doubt.

You see my dear friend,
No matter what you intend,
This war will never end,
If life was fair,And love was forever true,
If he was perfect and so were you,
It will be a life without pain,
One without chance,
A life of everlasting joy,
To the same tune, you would forever dance.

Why is melancholy so beautiful,
But she is not embraced as joy is,
Why do you never want her to stay,
Why in life you seek only bliss,
Why over the cloud you choose a ray.

Sadness helps you experience joy,
It helps you feel the spark in the eyes of a boy,
If you were forever in bliss,
A spark in that everlasting fire you will miss.

So welcome your emotions when they come,
Dont be partial toward only some,
Cause the happiest person on earth,
Deserves the most pity,
For his life will never be whole,
A life in complete control.
