The 'Poem A Day' Project ~ Day 239 Poem by Flying Lemming

I’ve never liked inbetweens,
For me they just annoy
People or things that get in the way
An obstruction to your joy
Tasks or jobs to overcome
On your journey through existence
Some say they make you stronger
And teach you real persistence
I find them just in the way
Of where I want to be
And worse is when the inbetween
Turns out to be me
When I have friends who argue
And I’m left right in the middle
Trying to understand both sides
Though they’re both talking piddle
Like standing on a tightrope
Just trying to be fair
While actually I’d rather be
Anywhere but there
But the inbetween I hate most
That turns my blue sky grey
Is someone inbetween me
And the 'all you can eat' buffet
