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"

Beautiful phrasing, and all too true! Nicely done, as it is a pleasant read, and it also rings truth!

[Frieda P]

That's the clincher, figuring out what really matters...'or not', nice flow and good message in this one Keely.

inner battles again my lady? What rages benrath the waves? Another well set out, flowing piece

[Rita L. Sev]

Yes, what the heard knows, versus what we think... a good theme. Great flow and rhyme in this one.

There's always inner 'battles' in MANY things people do. Relationships is a good example of this. The heart wants it to work, the mind has doubts. Sometimes the hearts right, sometimes it's all about taking chances on what you don't know. J'adore!

Simple, up-lifting, poignant. I like it.
