Middle Ground

Middle Ground

There was a time, 

A time, where limits were crossed.

A time of excess.

Overabundance of guilt,

Overabundance of disgust,

Overabundance of hopelessness.

A time of pain.

Sharp.

A torture, a blow,

Down to the deepest core of my soul.

Suffering that I, can only control.

No more regrets.

No more sorrows.

Only strength.

A place to get better.

A middle ground to find.

we all need this middle ground between frustration and hope, if we cant find reasons to be optimistic, we will be always pessimistic. you have expressed this in a very wonderful way...very lovely poem with nice images, metaphor and rhyme..

Your poem shows growth and maturity. It shows the passing from youth to adulthood. It says something important in very few words. I like it very much.

Your choice to open with limits crossed and then to transition into self control was very well done. There is indeed a middle ground. It is the place of self-awareness. It is the place of meditation where we contemplate the past, consider the present and adjust our course into the future. You said all of that by choosing just the right words. Well done.

I am often surprised at my own perseverance and how the bottom of my resolved results in a ricochet toward fight and renewed strength.

It brings one up without letting one down. That's the recommended way to start the day; have your say and then go play. Do what you were meant to do with faith and gusto, knowing that you're going to find that equilibrium that is essential for the adventure ahead. Well done, Morgane.
