In the Middle

I think I got too close
to that burning flame
too late to back away
too late to win this game
too many reasons
too long that I stayed
too many players
to be placing blame

sometimes it's hard 
to figure it all out
sometimes it's clear
when you extract the doubt
what do you do 
when finally ready to quit
caught up in the middle
between the thin and thick

sometimes it's easy
to figure it all out
sometimes it's clear
when you weigh the doubts
