I was told that today would be my last day, which was weird being that I had no job No, you see today was my last day standing in the in-between, It’s funny you know, my life could go in two directions and the outcome of it all comes down to this split decision, the one I make right now But it’s not that funny, I’m not ready to make this decision, I’m not set on where to go, So the in-between is exactly where I want to be Everyone keeps telling me what I should do but in reality none of that makes sense to me, In all honesty, I’m caving, the pressure is a bit too much I used to find peace in the in-between but now the once solid foundation is beginning to crumble, It’s sad, to see a place you once loved begin to fall apart and everyone around you cannot see that you’re standing on thin ice It started off fine, I was able to juggle it all But then things were thrown off balance, I froze and I could no longer juggle any of this, my act began to suffer, There once was a saying that the straw broke the camel’s back, Well, look at me now, the last straw has been added and it looks like I became the camel I hope this was all worth it, your words have seeped in and the in-between is no longer my home, This is no longer a place I wish to return, This place has been burned to the ground so I hope it was worth it I hope this makes you happy, Don’t ever let them tell you that the in-between is a waste of time, It’s already too late for me but there’s still a chance for you Don’t let them crush your spirit, Hey, mom and dad, I hope I've made you proud.

The In-Between
I was told that today would be my last day, which was weird being that I had no job No, you see today was my last day standing in the in-between, It’s funny you know, my life could go in two directions and the outcome of it all comes down to this split decision, the one I make right now But it’s not that funny, I’m not ready to make this decision, I’m not set on where to go, So the in-between is exactly where I want to be Everyone keeps telling me what I should do but in reality none of that makes sense to me, In all honesty, I’m caving, the pressure is a bit too much I used to find peace in the in-between but now the once solid foundation is beginning to crumble, It’s sad, to see a place you once loved begin to fall apart and everyone around you cannot see that you’re standing on thin ice It started off fine, I was able to juggle it all But then things were thrown off balance, I froze and I could no longer juggle any of this, my act began to suffer, There once was a saying that the straw broke the camel’s back, Well, look at me now, the last straw has been added and it looks like I became the camel I hope this was all worth it, your words have seeped in and the in-between is no longer my home, This is no longer a place I wish to return, This place has been burned to the ground so I hope it was worth it I hope this makes you happy, Don’t ever let them tell you that the in-between is a waste of time, It’s already too late for me but there’s still a chance for you Don’t let them crush your spirit, Hey, mom and dad, I hope I've made you proud.
