Heart-gut

The heart whispers while the stomach is churning,
The gut is yearning to be heard.
The head overrides with the rational and logical
Forgetting that decisions are not that methodical.

No decision is A to B.
Traffic jams of feelings and detours of emotions
Veer the mind off course, forcing C, D and E to present themselves.
Delving further into the quandary; encompassing all and sundry.
Exposing the landscape that is this problem and revealing the many roads through it.

The heart-gut is tumbling, tumbling out of control.
Tricked into believing the worst-case possibility is the actual reality.
Dread spreads through the abdomen.
Mind is a-panicking.
Trapped in the thought of ultimate dislike.

Instant relief that none of it was true.
Just an imagination running wild.
The decision was made, and in the heart-gut’s favour.
The brain was the savour, for once.
