Mind And Heart

Deception

Open your eyes

No one will ever dare

Enter a place of heartaches

To try and trick you

What can one gain from that

Only lost souls find pleasure in these games

Teach them how to love

Hold on to the joy they bring

Remember to say what you feel and what you mean

Everyone has a heart and a soul

Even if it's broken

Fix it

Only if you are strong enough

Understanding that the heart can deceive you

Remember reasoning is wise

For the mind is just as powerful as the heart

It can also lead you astray

Victory is in the Lord

Even death has to obey

    I love the structure of this. And yeah, as soon as I saw the Acrostic tag, I went back and saw the numbers. I should say, I love your words as well! Great work, Emily!

    I appreciate how this piece transforms emotional pain into a lesson in discernment. The reminder that both heart and mind can mislead us is beautifully grounded in faith.

  • Oh wow, that last line, I especially loved that!
