You ask if I’m heading into heartache?

You may be partially right about me

But if you look even deeper

Then maybe you will better see

I’m well aware of my disposition

I have a hedge on this so called “flaw”

The intelligence to navigate wisely

Is the truth of this universal law

I choose who I love

Don’t tell me how to feel

My way is my way

I use this way to heal

It’s not about me

The book tells us how to treat other people

If only we embrace?

Our world under the steeple

When idealism meets realism

How will you decide?

Trust in your pragmatism?

How will you resolve your pride?

Despite what you think of me

My mind will always tinker

I live by simple rules

Despite being a deep thinker

When idealism meets realism

Just where does the truth lie?

Somewhere in the in between

We may consider it a tie

Eudemonía

Aristotle would claim

Is responsible for our well-being

But I just call out her name
