Between love and hate
I stare at the choices laid
in front of me
with a ticking clock
and time running out
Between love and hate
perhaps the middle ground
is acceptance
—neither wanted
nor shunned—
between love and hate
I was just there
on the middle groundBetween beauty and filth
I stare at the choices
I have yet to pick
with shifting trends
and times uncertain
Between beauty and filth
perhaps the middle ground
is the self
—neither pleasing
nor atrocious—
between beauty and filth
I was just there
on the middle groundBetween life and death
I stare at the paths not taken
filling me with questions
of a thousand what-ifs
and ominous and-thens
Between life and death
perhaps the middle ground
is existence
—neither happy
nor broken—
between life and death
I was just there
—on this path laden
out for me—existing
on the middle ground
