Is Your Heart Half Empty or Half Full?

Is your heart half empty or half full?

Is the cycle cynical or just clinical?

Is palpable better than tangible?

Is it fantastical to believe the fantasy?

Is what's bled red or is it read?

Is this life the reason I'm tired and wired?

is it the lie or the truth that's putrid and fetid?

Is that why I'm so unsettled and stressed

Is my mind half sane or full crazy?

Is the pretence better than the precedent?

Is the fog thick or the air thin?

Is my breathing laboured or overworked?

Is it all of the above or none of the below?

Thanks for reading
