The Mind & Heart

early in the morning
when all is still
i lay there thinking
about life and all else
i see so much
i feel much more
my mind swims in thoughts
and my heart hurts
in my head there is darkness
and my heart is black
each missing its own element
neither knowing what to do
inside my mind is a storm
wind blowing fast
rain coming hard
trees falling everywhere
animals scurry around
trying to find some cover
inside my heart is angry
red like the blood
fire blazing high
burning everything in its path
together these two objects
have created what i am today
influenced who i am
shown me what i can do
with all this
emotion, hate, fear,
without all this
i am nothing
