Confliction

Confliction,
Wanting one thing
And another
At the same time.

My heart
Says one thing,
And my mind
Another.
Why must things
Be so difficult?

I want to follow
My heart,
But my mind won't put logic
To my emotions.
It won't allow my heart
To have
What it wants.
My heart's never satisfied,
Thanks to my mind.
I don't mind,
Because I've done it
For many years,
And it's nothing new.

So please,
Ignore my heart,
Feelings,
Emotions,
Everything.
And listen
To my mind.
Go be happy,
Like I want you to be.
I'll be fine,
As always.
Waiting,
In the Shadows.

Confliction,
An everyday thing
Inside my head.
