 That heaviness in your chest is something you shouldn't ignore 

That light feeling in your fingers is something to hold onto 

The soreness in your feet is something you should push through 

The sleepiness in your eyes is something you should recognize 

The stabbing in your stomach is something that won't go away 

The way we describe our loved ones 

The tingling feeling we get when we hear our favorite song 

How frustrated we get when our painting isn't perfect like our favorite artist 

We always tell ourselves "I wish I didn't feel like this" or "I shouldn't feel like this"

When others tell us we over exaggerate the feeling in our chest 

Or overthink the situations in our minds 

We should not simply glance over our emotions 

It's the one thing that makes us human 

Sympathy, love, hate, envy, lust 

There's always a dark side to each twisted passion 

This instinctive state of mind sometimes overrides our reasoning 

It steers us away from what is right and wrong 

We decide to follow our sentiments instead of truth 

We're still learning and developing 

There are parts of us we still do not possess 

It's not our job to decide when we get them 

We steal them away and use them falsely 

Like an eager child on a snowy Christmas morning 

We rip everything open and hope to find something that we think is meant to belong in our hands 

Our dirty unsympathetic hands

There's a reason we take, A reason we desire, A reason we fool ourselves 

That tightness in your chest, The fullness of your stomach, The reason your hands shake 

We are human, but that is no excuse 

Your emotions will fool you into thinking "my heart will take me there"

But don't you see?

Your heart is the most deceiving, but never glance it over 

God knows what you desire and will give you what you need not what you want 

Tell Him how you feel 

He is your new heart
