The Battle with Myself

The heart says do good,

Help others, change the world. 

The head says make money, 

Create stability, build security.

The heart says to trust.

To have faith in people and goodness. 

The head says be skeptical.

Use logic. Demand proof.

I'm in a constant battle with myself. 

And no matter what side wins, I lose. 
Boy I'm sick of losing. 

The heart says love more. 

Love with everything you've got.

The head says build walls.

Be cautious. Avoid pain.

The heart says let it out.

Use tears to let it all go.

The head says it's not worth it.

That none of this is worth tears.

I'm in a constant battle with myself. 

And no matter what side wins, I lose. 

Man I'm tired of losing. 

The heart says move on. 

To start the healing process.

The head says to fight. 

That logic says I'm right. 

If the heart wins, 

I'll lose something good. 

If the head wins, 

I'll lose something good too. 

I'm in a constant battle with myself. 

And no matter what side wins, I lose. 

I'm so fucking tired of losing.
