In The Middle

In The Middle

A Poem by Jason Shadows
"

For A Reason.

"
"I Stand On The Fence. 
 They Say I Got A Choice To Make.
 But Why Do I?
 Its Up To Me I Believe.

 Should I Become Good Or Evil?
 Should I Just Love Someone Or Hate Them All?
 Never To Decide Or To Reside?
 Never To Give In Or To Break Away?

 So Many Choices In This Life.
 How Can I Just Bare It All?
 How Can I Live In A World Unforgiving?
 So Many People With No Care.

 How Many Times Have I Walked The Same Path?
 How Many Times Have I Bled For Someone Else?
 Still I Seek So Many Answers That Are Unheard.
 Still I Limp Away Like A Haunting Wraith.

 Slithering In Place And Gliding In The Air.
 Dangerous You Say - I Say Incurable.
 Still I Bleed And Breath Just Like Them All.
 Nothing In The Difference But A Life I Must Redeem.

 I Hinder The Option Of My Life In Stop Motion.
 Broken And Lost In The Same Way As Recovered.
 But Still I Linger On To Find My Destiny.
 Here I Try And How Far I Get Is Up To You.

 Go Ahead And Decide If I Live Or Fall.
 Again And Again I Keep Getting Up.
 Each Mistake Makes Me That Much More Powerful.
 But I Stand Alone And I Fight The Demons From All Sides.
 
 You Say I Must Choose Heaven Or Hell.
 I Say I Choose Nether.
 You Say If I Don't Then I Still Go To Hell.
 Well I Say I'm Here To Stand In The Middle."

I love all the questions in this piece. And the last stanza tied everything together so beautifully. Amazing read.
