Somewhere In The Middle --long by ~matchbookromance1344:iconmatchbookromance1344:



I'm always in the middle
I never really belong
I'm always neither here nor there
But lost somewhere along

Too found to be lost
But too lost to be found
Too bound to be free
But too free to be bound

Too nice to be mean
But too mean to be nice
Too icy to be warm
But too warm to be ice

Too hating to love
But too loving to hate
Too angry to forgive
But too forgiving to be irate

Too useful to be useless
But to useless to be of use
Too abused to be spoiled
But too spoiled to be abused

Too fake to be genuine
But too genuine to be fake
Too selfish to give
But too giving to take

Too pretty to be ugly
But too ugly to be pretty
Too witty to be stupid
But too stupid to be witty

Too happy to be sad
But too sad to be happy
Too seeing to be blind
But far too blind to see

Too rigid to be smooth
But too smooth to be rigid
Too loved to be hated
But too hated to be beloved

Too whole to be broken
But too broken to be whole
Too old to be young
But too young to be old

Too strong to be fragile
But too fragile to be strong
Too wrong to be right
But too right to be wrong

Too skinny to be fat
But too fat to be skinny
Too many to be few
But too few to be many

Too real to be imaginary
But too imaginary to be real
Too feeling to be soulless
But too soulless to feel

I'll never have a niche of my own
Or somewhere I can go
It seems I'll always have to
Do everything being alone

Because even though I'll never
Find somewhere I fit
I'm far too much myself
To be anything but this

Nice. That is a very interesting position to be in...

Personally, I found the poem a wee bit repetitive. (the "too __ to be __
but too __ to be __" parts).
The first 16 - 20 of such lines were cool but it kind of drags when it goes on for a total of 44 lines (that is 22 repetitions of the same pattern!).

I think if you could cut a few of the lines out, the poem would flow much better. Leave some room for the reader to add their own thoughts.

That aside it was quite enjoyable!
