Whenever swayed by emotion myself I find
Let common sense and logic rescue my mind..
*
It is hard to separate truth from lies
Parse reality from accounts fictionalized
Not give in to rhetoric that is crafted carefully
To stoke your feelings of insecurity
It is easy to believe what fits well
Into your own worldview, not having to dwell
On the unsettling truth that someone else might be right
You do not want to accept you’re wrong without putting up a fight
*
Giving in to your emotions makes you ignore
The logical part of your brain for sure
Rational thinking takes a backseat
When you react in the moment’s heat
*
Once you set your emotions aside, you begin to see
Problems and issues more logically
That is the point I hope I reach fast
I hope the effect of emotions on my mind does not last
Passion...unbridled
