(poems go here) Stuck in the middle

Have you had a day when one might say were stuck in between
Didn't know what to do or what it could mean
Were you afraid of what might happen
Didn't know which way to go, either left or the right

Were you stuck in a position here you couldn't move
Didn't know what life wanted to prove
Left there in tears
One of our greatest fears suddenly appears

We all have been stuck halfway somedays
But life continues and plays
With or without you, make a choice
Listen to your inner voice

If that choice leads you somewhere, then great
If it doesn't it teaches you something you either love or hate
Things can only get better after a worse time
We all wish things were perfect, trust me I wish mine
Were in some way perfect
Not completely, that takes out the fun of appreciating life

When you're stuck look both ways and and cross your fingers
Cause your time lingers
Flip a coin if you're unsure
Cause once in the air you realize what you want and want you don't

I am one person
But we all have some similarities
We all can say we have been stuck before
Now we believe in ourselves more
We can close our eyes and relax, open them and think, inhale and set sail
We are a stronger person inside nothing can stop us
Not even being stuck in the middle
