Stretched in Two

Sometimes you get stretched in two And, though you do what you must do, You know there might be someone who You’ve made a bit depressed. Your reasons might be clear to you But possible to misconstrue, For everybody’s point of view Won’t always be expressed. And even if you had a clue And agonized and thought it through, You had to go with what you knew Would pass the right-thing test. So afterwards, a quick review Might all your worried thoughts subdue, For other chances will debut To put your mind at rest.

Ecstasy's agony... Agony's ecstasy. Can't lose for winning. Can't win for losing...
