Instincts

I follow instinct poorly, when I do,
And even when I try it comes out wrong.
My analytic parts are far too strong
To let them go completely. I'd like to.
But I just have to think everything through
Even if sometimes I think it wrong.
So rationally I mosey along
And never know if instinct would hold true.
Yet is not thought an instinct on its own?
A reflex, at the very least, it is.
And so the thoughts that crackle, pop, and fizz
Inside my brain are instincts too. I've known
Myself for many years, and so I know
It's instinct in me never to let go.
