When Push Comes To Shove

When push comes to shove

     and trip turns to fall

Its Mind over matter

     unless it matters at all

Follow your heart

     and you will find

The bigger your heart

     the wider the mind

Often there's a battle

     between feeling and thought

What you think you know

     your heart does not

When you're unsure

     when there is doubt

Look inside

     not out

To know how to live

     is to know when to love

Follow your heart

     when push comes to shove

When what you think is best

     doesn't quite feel right

Maybe you don't really know

     but your heart just might

This has its moments. As always, I can't help thinking it would benefit from punctuation. Also
I'm curious as to why you didn't use "your mind" in this line:
"The bigger your heart
the wider the mind"

this line is really good though, my favorite moment in the whole piece:

"Often there's a battle
between feeling and thought
What you think you know
your heart does not"

I like the message

" Look inside
not out
To know how to live
is to know when to love"
I like the complete poem. Good wisdom in these words. Love and kindness is the way. If you lead with greed and run. You will find a dead-end in the end. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

The question will always be whether to follow your heart or your head. The answer is unknown....as it it depends on what you are willing to risk. Good job Keely!!

The "feel" of this one was great. I like the way that it sounded off my tongue (I read it aloud), and that is because you too care with the beat and the flow. Nicely done.

This is such a lovely slice of wisdom in a well written and wonderful beam of light in my day.

Oh I love this. The structure you used for your lines is nicely done and fitting as well. So much feeling in this piece, with the selected words you have here in this poem. Enjoyed.

when push comes to shove
you're all out of love
smack em upside the head
with the back of your glove......
