In Between

Darkness was my home

I never knew anything different

I didn’t even know it was dark

Until I saw the light

I wanted to run toward it

But I was nervous

I was afraid

It was unfamiliar

But so inviting

The light was strong

It shone into to my darkness

I was alive... for once

Like a magnet, I was pulled

But some part of me resisted

And so I stood there... stuck

Stuck between

The familiar and the unfamiliar

The old and the new

What I was and what I could be

And though I was caught in the middle

It was always my choice to move
