The In-Between

And what is this?
This to which I refuse to admit. 

Uncertainty. 
Need of clarity.
Dispense my life from this 
Which is 
Unnecessary.

Hate. 
Love. 
And the line where these two meet. 

Me.
Stuck.
In-between. 
Uneasy. 
Cannot breath.

But you, 
Cannot 
And do not have the authority, 
The right 
To question. 

Let me be.
And you shall see,
Why you have led me to this
Which is 
The silence of 
The in-between.
