Foolishly Witless

I feel foolish

For Foolish is a lovers language

I know I'm no such person

Then what is it that I think it is

Why do I wish to become a foolhardy

When I know all about being smart

Sometimes I ponder that this person,

This foolish one is not me

Has some spirit overtaken my body

Is it the devil's desire that makes me wanna sin

Or the angels love that makes me wanna do what feels right

There seems to be a turmoil between this heart and mind

For I cannot bear this foolish heart

My mind is fighting hard but why does it feel like its losing

My world is in extremes

Either rainbows or hellfire

Is it the anxiety riding up to protect me

Or is the giddiness originating from that half-witted part of the brain

This all, everything

This is not something foreign to me and yet it feels like the very first time
