Sitting On The Fence Poem by LeeAnn Azzopardi

Sitting On The Fence

Rating: 5.0


I am sitting on the fence
With the sun burning my hair
And screaming 'Get up! '
'Do some shit'
But I stare into the distance
Frozen with half-tears in my eyes
Then, the clouds pour the rain
Over my head
Yelling 'C'mon'
But I am still staring without a word
Finally, after a long day, I get off the fence
And take my cross
The fence will always be there
But I am not sure if I'll be
Though, night is coming

Fence sitters are opportunists…..they don't take decisions but enjoy the result. This poem is not so simple, it has a inordinate philosophical depth! Your "I" is certainly someone else. You expression, "the fence will always be there but I am not sure…" needs far-reaching introversion!
