I'm in between, <br />bitter tasted; <br />overcome by my own nature, <br />but, unrepentant, I still am <br />by choice and circumstance. <br /> <br />I step upon my own fate <br />plunge holes in my own ship <br />live with storms and tumult <br />I alone create. <br /> <br />I'm in between <br />and bitter tasting <br />overcome by my own nature. <br />But unrepentant I still am <br />by choice and circumstance. <br /> <br />I've been wrong many times <br />and humble enough to know, <br />but alone, <br />I'm not strong enough <br />to reverse trend, <br />turn the bend <br />and came back again. <br /> <br />But, I <br />still want <br />to unlove you. <br /> <br />Twirl me round <br />one more time, <br />whatever comes by me <br />will surprise; <br />but, it will be mine. <br /> <br />I'm in between, <br />bitters tasting; <br />overcome by my own nature <br />but unrepentant I still am <br />by choice and circumstance. <br /> <br />My life complete <br />will state in the Book <br />of Summation: <br /> <br />Lived by Instinct <br />Died From Commitment: <br />The Pallbearers <br />were <br />Choice and Circumstance.<br /><br />Lonnie Hicks<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/bitter-tasting/
