In Between

I am love, I am hate, I'm an atheist with faith
Vent my anger with a smile, I'm polite or obscene
Either whisper or I scream, I'm not quite what I seem
What somewhere in between

I am young my own age, I am calm or in a rage
I'm your friend or enemy, a pacifist or at war
I am rich but I am poor, I'm all extremes
I'm nowhere in between

Wide awake or in a dream, nowhere in between
Like a pulse of a machine, I'm driven to extremes

I feel the turmoil boil in me
I'm either healthy or diseased
I am all extremes, but I'm still in between

Say right or say wrong, outcast yet I belong
I'm high or I'm dry say, I am weak yet I am strong

In between, in between

I am my alter ego, I am subconsciously
In depth but also shallow or somewhere in between

Oh! I know, I am always first in line or last
Swim with sharks or drown rats, I'll defend as I attack
My world and yours are not the same, I am in a different lane
I am not where I seem, but I'm somewhere in between

I seek revenge as I forgive, I die to live
Not afraid but scared to death, I don't fit in

In between all extremes
In between all extremes
