if i had a heart
i would rip it out my chest
tear it into tiny pieces
until there is nothing left
if i had i heart
i would throw my heart away
maybe keep it in a box
bring it out on rainy days
if i had a heart
i would listen to the beat
i would sit in utter silence
just to hear the moving meat
if i had a heart
i would ask for it to stop
it would be awfully hard to sleep
with the constant thump and pop
if i had a heart
i would ask it how it feels
feeling must come from the heart
with all the thought it steals
if i had a heart
i would give my heart away
don't see the need to have a heart
when i much prefer my brain

A line from the Wizard of Oz that has as much meaning today as it did then. I too have been accused of having no heart. I too would’ve preferred to have a brain. But in my leader years, I think BACC and a heart may have been preferable.
i get that. i wrote this to be more nonsensical i try to make poems that have meaning so much that i find it hard to write. so lately i have been trying to write poems about things that are supposed to be abstract and meaning less. i wrote this in the perspective of a man that really does not have a physical heart and how he would react to the choice to having one or how he would feel to have a heart not so much in the metaphoric have a little sympathy kind of way. but i guess the best part of writeing a poem with little meaning is that everyone who reads can make there own meaning
