In Between

caught in a dark space of the in-between 
drowned in emotions to others unseen 

too proud to walk backward, can't step ahead 
once starving fears are now constantly fed 

moments when hands seem to comfortably touch 
change to discomfort, an unwanted crutch 

clichés of bright sides or things meant to be 
sincere intentions, help to small degree 

soul search seems endless and to no avail 
but needs not come down to succeed or fail 

mindset has no shelf life..no hourglass sand 
what time you take is the time that's at hand 

you needn't feel dirty now to come clean 
find your comfort in a warm in-between
