Simple minds.
Complex dispositions.
Are we simply colorblind
Or just tunnel-visioned?
Distinctly black.
Or white
A timeless affair.
Even someone color blind
Sees shades of grey.
Head and heart seldom
Go hand in hand
Which provides explanation
For constant inner turmoil and confusion.

"Be decisive and resolute.
Compromise for no one"
Society's rerun of Bad Teacher
Is this resolve really the solution?
More like a labyrinth on a unfulfilling path
Emotions complicate our lives
In avoidance, we betray them with a kiss
"Keep it simple, stupid!"

Emotions don't make you weak,
Misguided or stupid for that matter
It's a light within you
That explains who you are
And what you stand for
Emotions...
The difference between living
And merely existing
The truest meaning of life
