Balance

Balance

A Poem by Shy Joe

Emotion: Where would you be without
         me?
Logic:          Needless things, need not be.

Emotion: What would you accomplish
         without passion?
Logic:          Intellect needs no such thing to react,
                    and take action.

Emotion: Fun, excitement, love, and
         hate
Are these not what drive
         you?
Logic:          Math, and science are what I dictate.
                    ....but why do I formulate such mindful
                    views?

Logic:          Repetitious  analogizes correlate our
                    relationship.  Never should we
                    separate.
Emotion: Without you, I would have no
         goals. I need you also, I
         suppose.

Logic:           Our quarrel is solved.  Now what do we do?
Emotion:  I am drained.  I bid you adieu!

very creative and introspective. one argument i would not want to be in the midst of although we all wrestle with it. not so easy to strike a balance - one usually tips the scale at any given time depending on what has happened and which is stronger so they battle it out 'til one wins out. good stuff ... :)

An amusing write. We need both emotion and logic in our lives. Getting the right balance can be tricky sometimes, but if we try to stifle emotion we find ourselves leading a very dull life! I enjoyed the read.

The conflict is real between logic and emotion.
Brain/heart.
Loved the form. Unique.
Very cool how you used a lighter, smaller font for " Emotion"...logic always seems to be much louder and more sure of itself while emotion is quieter and unsure.

i choose "emotion" thank you very much, and would like a second helping...
Logic might solve problems...but emotion pushes the pen...
i like the way you presented this...
the dialogue between the two.
effective.

Heart and mind in conflict here. I smiled as I read your lines. It all needs to be a matter of balance. Sometimes my mind gets the upper hand, and when that happens I can and have lost out in relationships. That's where your lines took me. I enjoyed the read. Thanks.

The struggle between heart and mind is constant and exhausting. :)
But you need to consider both to make sound and ethical decisions.
