Wars of the Mind

About how I find it hard to think straight about things when one have of my brain (logical side) is always arguing with the other (emotional side)

Wars of the Mind

As the wounded cerebrum unfolds

And the aperture reveals the savage war

For the hemispheres are no subject to globes

Release from the other beyond the chasm

Across the Great Chasm war parties

Begin ravaging campaigns against the other

The battlefield of synapses hoist the flags

Over the casualties in this mental warfare

On one flags is embroidered “Logic”

Its combatant - “Emotion” - counters

Logic’s brilliant faint with an ambush

Such battles never cease in time’s agonizing tick

Swords of facts spark against the weapons

Forged from a fire fed by wooden feelings

Arrows tipped with the jagged edge of senses

Collide to counter the shield wall of passion

Peace talks cannot resume within the rage

That festers like bugs under a rock

Discussed alliances from years prior

Disprove possibilities of the Brain Treaty

No peace

No solution

Just a war

Why?

Author's Note

I wrote this at around 4-5 in the morning before i went to bed. So, if it sounds like drunken ravings... well it's pretty close to it.

I like this, the spacing does wonders adding to the disoriented feeling of it all.

Thank you for your kind words, Boxcat! The brain is confusing and i tried to translate that with the spacing
