Heart Divided, Mind Shattered Poem by Doris Cornago
Heart Divided, Mind Shattered
If anybody asks me if I am happy
I would definitely say I am not
Having lost the meaning of happiness
between now and last night, I am sad.
Tomorrow, if anybody asks the same
I would jump in glee and say yes
I am definitely because there's me
The other side that longs to be free.
Yet again, in the future if time's short
And nothing is going right with work
I would be lost for words on what counts
For happiness - my freedom or serfdom.
You make me jump in anticipation
Whenever you have the gumption
But somewhere your procrastination
Causes a break in my exultation...
If it only depended on me, I work alone
but so much hinges on what you want done
Your heart divided, your mind shattered
We fell short, we are now fettered...
Life is made up of short moments of joy and despair. Your poem is very expressive about how small things matter. Understanding is certainly first step in creating harmony. Before be expect it from somebody else we have to create and overcome our own divisive and shattered heart and mind. This is the unspoken message the poem took me to. Congratulations on your member poem selection for this worthy poem.
My poems are my messages to someone out there just waiting. Thank you. :)
Continue writing even without the appreciation. A poem is good by itself. :)
We have to learn how to live well even when our emotions don't help us out! 5*****
I made a revisit today. Happy that I have. " your procrastination // Causes a break in my exultation" what a beauty!
Loved this beautiful poem, on life, its vagaries, its gifts, its take-aways…
Happiness is a state of mind. I wish you happiness, Doris.
