For Me There Is No In Between

I’m either all the way up
Or all the way down,
All the way in,
Or all the way out.
For me there is no in between.

I am totally glad,
Or totally sad,
Totally negative,
Or totally positive.
For me there is no in between.

My feelings are skewed,
Due to the way I grew up,
I learned to be shrewd,
To cover it all up,
For me there is no in between.

My fears run deep,
They control my life,
It’s hard for me to keep,
Up this way of life,
For me there is no in between.

If I’m thinking quite negative,
I need to turn it around,
And come up with some positive,
To find even ground, but,

For me there is no in between.
