On the corner of too much and not enough <br />I stand at the center <br />More like on the edge or outside looking in <br />There are two sides of the coin and <br />I'm left with no change <br />In the club of the elite, I'm not allowed to enter <br />At both ends, I'm excluded <br />Leaving one suspicious <br />In eyes of others, measure for measure <br />I still come up short <br />In the court of society, I'm the traitor or criminal <br />On the race meter, I'm to black or not enough <br />It's not my identity crisis just their expectation <br />I teeter on the cusp rocking back and forth <br />I'm not interested in the thoughts of outsiders <br />I get dizzy. Frankly it doesn't matter what they assume of me <br />I remain in the middle not that I want to be <br />If I put any effort into living up to what's expected of me, <br />I would be lost and stuck on the corner of too much and not enough. <br />I prefer the other side of the street<br /><br />derrick foster<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/too-much-and-not-enough/
