Butterflies in my tummy, anxiety, apprehension
Concern for not knowing what to expect
A perfect happy world shacked by the unknown,
Priorities, realities, dreams and plans put on hold
A life on pause waiting for the answer…
Rage and hope fighting to reign,
Logic and uneasiness guessing the possible answer,
Ego and soul arguing on commonsense
Only knowledge will put at rest the discomfort, will end the test,
Will give the chance to take a step
Lost in that awful in between, of not knowing what is going to be…
A cry of anger that keep asking: Why me?
A content soul accepting what it could be
Lost in that awful in between,
From which only the answer can rescue me!
Lousy melodramatic thoughts, striking now and then
A persistent fight to silent them all
A deep and raspy howl for help
Then…. silence and acknowledgment
As I find contentment in that awful in-between

Gabi - I have to wonder what is going on?
What are you in-between? This post has me a little worried.
Very Nice Gabi, that "awful in between" can be the balance point or that awful place of indecision. Also as Leon Russell said "Up on the tight wire, one side ice and one is fire." Aren't we all caught between being and becoming?
Oh, dear! Sounds ominous.
Nothing to worry about dear Kass, as Tag said, I´m caught between being and becoming while trying to find the balance point... But life is all about that, so I´m happy in my awful in-between.
Thanks for being there.

Dear Tag, you put it perfectly, change, indecision and finding the balance point defines what we will become. But as I said before these are:
"Moments to be lived to the fullest, with passion, enthusiasm and greatness
Moments that come and pass,
moments that will never be back"
so I´m enjoying this awful in-between to the fullest.

It´s ominous indeed - but isn´t that as necessary as air?
The push we need from time to time to define who we are...
Thank you Jonas for stopping by.

Hey Gabi,
I agree with you and Standing, it is a wonderful/awful place to be, but it is a scary place too. But you're, it can be a blessing in disguise and we just have t pay attention!
Bunda,
the scary part is what make it awful... that notion of not knowing what is going to happen.
thank for stopping by.

Thank you Olivia for stopping by.
Finding contentment isn't easy when one is "in-between", but it can be done.
