Consequences of a deep mind

Choices

If given the choice

Between the inevitable loss

Of anger or sadness

What would one choose

It's a hard task to do

To choose between the two

To save themselves from

the most damaging one

For grief is a pain of sharpness

That you simply can't shake

It's a knife in the chest

That you can't take away

Constantly being twisted and turned

With every new thought

But anger is a killer

A rash decision maker

A lightning jolt

A puff of smoke

And a raw throat

To jump before one thinks

And not care about anything

So when put side by side

It's a clear choice to decide

Either to think far too soundly

Or to not once think at all

To be sad without anger

Is to be stuck in a hole with no tools

To have anger without sadness

Is to be heartless and cruel

The evils of the two

Balance out the rules

That lie between

Anger and being mean

Or grief and despair

Because when there's nothing left to do

The relationship between the two

makes the other more bearable

So to make things less terrible

I think I will just stick

With the two emotions by my side

For the sake of my sanity

and to maintain my humanity

I must endure the same brain

And keep it all the same

No parts broken off

No ingredients left out

Because to be left with either one alone

Would be such a terrible blow
