~middle Ground~ Poem by Sinnaminsun Sinnaminsun

I fall between want and need,
looking on either side
and back again.
Debating, hesitating, fixating
on the fact that both blur
from this perspective.

I see risk and chance
playing for my attention,
Both form one reason
of why fear leads nowhere
fast.

Not a gambler,
as risk always outweighs
any win,
Not a looser
as I'll fight to sustain
any loss.

So here I'll stay
contemplating then justifying
Why my view from the middle
seems best.
