The Constant Fight

The Constant Fight

A Poem by Sydney Rachel
"

Sometimes you listen to your head, and other times you listen to your heart. But it's all about balance.

"

Desire.

Lust.

Longing.

Versus

Will power.

Common sense.

 

Constantly at war.

Sometimes one leads,

Sometimes the other.

 

Desire

Is a powerful thing.

It is hot

Sharp

Intense.

It is slow-boiling

But fast as lightning.

It is impulsive.

It is strong.

 

Working against it

Is rationality.

Common sense.

The ability to see above

Your immediate needs.

It is the voice of

Reason.

The reservations,

The doubts,

The little voice

In your head

That says “Think.

Look before you leap.”

 

Neither can ever truly

Win.

Constantly fighting

For a

Dominance

That can never

Be reached.
