Sometimes you find yourself drafted to be in the middle of a dispute between two people. It isn’t a good place to find yourself in. Each party wants you to take sides.

Being in the middle is hard.
Sometimes without consent
you are given that card.
You find that you are on neither side,
but on the outside looking in.
Neither wants to accept
the responsibility for their own actions,
because of the thickness
of their skin.
Pride goeth before a fall,
which is true,
no matter how big or small.
I refuse to be
the go between.
I am not trying to be mean,
but work has to be done by each part
to make the green grass green.
I am devastated
because there is nothing
that I can do,
but my story remains true.
Knowing the way things happened
isn’t always a good thing.
It doesn’t always bring
about peace and happiness.
This isn’t a good place
to find yourself in.
The middle is a position
that can be very unfair.
Pulling yourself out
is the hard part,
and I must find a way out, no doubt -
before I give into the urge
to scream and shout.
