It Sounds Better In My Head

I beg to differ
Though It makes no sense
Why must you go
And return in oposition, my dear brain
Indifference brings out contradiction for you, apparently
Does not have an opinion about it?
Oh well, then why not disagree and dig into someone else
"Can you stick up for your mind, dear?
Will it stick up for you?"
Two sided road of disconcern
I'm not alone inside my head
I can't be
One single being could not be that out to get itself
What type of self loathe justifies this amount of sabotage
Such brilliant universe...
How do you figure it would build a part of its own organism meant for self destruction?
Unless, of course, that piece of life wasn't meant to do any good in the first place...

Lines 5-10, I didn't understand. Poetry usually isn't my thing. The rest of it sounded familiar enough. I do see each person as their own universe. However, I have to disagree with the idea that all internal strife is sabotage. If we don't ever question ourselves, how would we ever grow? The process can get a little intense at times, as well it should. We're here to have experiences, not be passive observers. So the part that you describe as being built for self destruction, I see as being there to allow personal evolution.
The question of whether we're alone in our heads is interesting. For me, it comes down to a matter of perspective; I could answer yes or no with equal truth. Our minds are so vast that they contain components that can function independently as well as interact with each other. Yet, they are all part of the same personality. Is that solitude? It's like asking if the cells in our body are their own organisms.

It's actually the main part of the poem and it goes on about one behavior of mine that happens when I don't really have a strong opinion about something being discussed and all of a sudden I just feel like defending whatever is not being said by the person I'm talking to. I'm not really sure whether I think every side should get a proper defense or if I'm only into going against the flow. Perhaps even trying to see how far someone can go in their line of thought and testing their actual knowledge on the matter, which is what I tried to say with those lines. Also, "two sided road.." is actually referring to the quoted part in the poem, It was meant to let you know that both answers to the questions were negative.

Had to read twice for understanding perfectly. Poetry is that stuff indeed. If it's understandable in a first read, it's not a good one..sure...
World of poets is different. And poets like you make this statement feel true...
Nice piece dear poet!!!

I like how the poem is a bit nonsensical and reflects the title well. Sometimes words and things sound way better in our brain.
