Writing Prompt

We as human beings are emotionally driven,

“The heart wants what the heart wants”.

Picnics, sun-kissed skin, music blasting in the car.

Does my heart know everything I’ve given?

Sleepless nights, heavy eyes, laptop filled with practice questions.

It’s not easy, craving love in every font.

Kisses, late night talks, holding each others hands like we are finally home.

What’s harder? Passion ...

“Follow your heart” they say.

But is following your heart ok?

Is it right?

When in the middle of the night

You miss him and make stupid mistakes

Like jumping into the middle of a lake

Or threatening to kill or hurt a girl

“Use your head.” I say.

Its a lesson I wish I learned sooner.

I wouldn’t have done stupid, bad, and mean things all for a guy....

I can’t not admit it

He consumes my every thought

But… he’s a year older.

& I don’t even know if he likes me back

But I feel like he does

Am I even ready for this?

Already, my grades are beginning to suck again in this class

I think people can tell he likes me

Am I ready?

He’s going to college next year

Local

Do I actually want this?

Really?

It’s difficult to talk to him

So clearly ...

I text her and told her how i couldnt give her any. I mean, why does she even need it? So i asked, apparently, she needs $50 dollars to get a pe...

Every logical decision is based upon emotions.

We calculate, all the ways love can make our heart ache or break.

Each decision has a fate we’re not willing to take.

We chose logic, in hopes of avoiding mistake.

Filling the heart with hate, until it is too late for love to take place.

A wall is built, a bridge has sunk, opportunity is out of luck....

Logic or emotion?

Need or want?

Head or heart?

Those were the questions

I had to ask myself

When I fell for

You.

In my head,

With all the logic I had,

I knew that you weren’t

What I

Needed.

Though in my heart,

With all the love in me,

I know that you were

What I

Wanted.

I had to pick…

Logic and emotion?

Need or want?

Head or heart?

So many questions

I had to answer,

But you,

You were in m...

The power from the heart is strong,

Greatest weakness, Love.

Happiness take over when you experience,

A cycle begins.

dream, smile, laugh

Repeat.

Laugh, smile, dream

What?

We're over.

**The cycle has been broken**

Breakdowns, lack of control, habits.

A new one begins.

Rip, break, destroy,

Violence.

The heart has no strength

It’s been ripped apart; broken...

My mom says I should always think with my head first. She says, if you have enough brains everything else in life is easier. Always make the smarter decision instead of pushing it away. Not using your head makes you weak, and using your heart makes you even weaker.

But,Sometimes when I make choices I stop and ponder the thought of using my heart. Of doing what’s right for me, instead of others, o...

He was once my light, my air and fire, the one person that could bring me to life

But now there he was, the lover I could no longer recognise

He gave me everything and even though it is heartbreaking

I am most grateful for letting me go

He was my anchor, my healer, but once the seasons passed

The beast came to life

The anger, the disappointment all tucked deeper within your soul

I feared losing y...
