Debate

By Vedant Dhanjal

There was a debate going on.

It was mind against the heart.

The mind wanted the man

To stop, to give up.

The heart wanted him

To endure, to fight.

“You have tried enough, this is it!”

“Try a little more, you are almost there.”

“You are tired, have lost everything.”

“Keep walking, you will win everything.”

“You are alone, have forgone all relations.”

“Your belief is with you, it’s all you need.”

“The heart is broken, you lost your love.”

“The mind is ignorant, you will win respect.”

“You are quite late, getting old now.”

“So persevere and then live forever.”

“You are depressed, have become weak.”

“The strength of your dreams is incomparable.”

“You have failed a thousand times.”

“Success comes after a million failures.”

“Be practical, live in the present.”

“Be patient, miracles take time.”

“Run away!”

“Stand firm.”

“For the family you have.”

“For the world you want.”

“Remember the girl who left?”

“Remember the lass you loved?”

“Live a stable life.”

“Live an unforgettable life.”

“Do a job.”

“Dream!”

“Let it go.”

“Don’t give up.”

There is a debate going on.

It is mind against the heart.
