Feed Your Heart And Soul First

By Rashmi Gupta

the artist in me comes out when the world's fast asleep.

when my mind and body is done with the day's mundane tasks,

it peeps in and comes out to play...

i try to calm it down...shhhh!!

don't mess with my system, it's time to sleep…

i got to start on a new journey tomorrow…

but it just won't listen to me!!

it takes over and keeps me up

until my body gives in and my brains give up…

and keeps throwing ideas on the canvas of my mind…

fueling my heart with ink to pour out

everything that's been hiding inside….

i try to shut it down….shhhh!!

i got to get to work early morning

to make a living and feed my family...

And it tells me, feed your heart and soul first!!

my brains have started sending warning signs…

but the heart says don't hold it back…
