I have to stop seeing this world through my heart
by Jesse Pena

I have to stop seeing this world through my heart
and learn to see it with the candor of my mind
I have to stop feeling other people's pain
and only scientifically observe, detail and recommend
a stronger pill to ease the pain
I have to stop trying to understand what makes the world tick
tick tock, like the clock that marks each passing moment with a second hand
and learn to hide within hte oblivion of my ambitions
I have to stop believing in my dreams and in the dreams of others
and put them on a shelve and prepare my children to do the same
I have to stop caring for the wayward child, whose path I once walked
and lecture him back into the fold with tested protocol
rather than my own lost experience
I have to stop 
I have to stop
I have to stop seeing this world through my heart.
