Is this sentence grammatical and natural?

When you write a poem down, you have to be perfect. Everything has import, including spaces and punctuation. The phrase "mind /heart" is different from "mind/heart", but I suspect that the slash means either that you haven't decided which word is the better translation or that there is a Bangla word that translates to that duality.
