Stuck in the Middle with You

The creativity that once

Flowed through the mind

Like the wind through the trees

And the blood through the veins

 

Has taken a back seat

As the mind is now full

Of things that take priority

In regaining sanity and peace

 

A war has erupted

And being stuck in the middle

Is proving to be

No easy chore

 

What qualifies as being more important?

Moving forward for one's self

Or helping others to do so?

All comes down to the state of mind

 

The conscience is the ultimate answer

For listening holds the key

Whichever path it chooses

Is surely the right answer

Isn't it?
