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 I'm somewhere in between I am young in my old 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 the pulse of a machine I'm driven to extremes I feel the turmoil boil in me I'm neither healthy nor 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 I swim with sharks or drown with 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 ah Not afraid but scared to death I don't fit in In between all extremes
