Stuck

I'm stuck... Stuck in between triumph and surrender

My body is at war with itself I'm being attacked by my own defender

I'm stuck inside the hurt in my heart and trapped inside the pain in my brain

So close to success but closer to going insane

I'm stuck... In between too good and not good enough

Stuck in between the weakest of the weak and the toughest of the tough

I'm stuck between normality and facing the true nature of my reality

Stuck between holding it in with a smile and crying out for help breaking my personal confidentiality

I'm stuck... between academic and personal improvement

Stuck between progress and getting nowhere due to limited movement

I'm stuck, more like trapped in old bones and a young soul

Stuck in contemplating admitting defeat and working twice as hard for my goal

I'm stuck between wanting friends and wanting isolation

Stuck between being in control and being under my own body's dictation

I'm stuck between pain and chemicals called medication

Stuck between my faith and strength and crying during meditation

I'm stuck inside my own thoughts of how thing can get worse

Stuck inside giving up and doing everything I can to reverse my curse

I'm stuck in between sickness and health

Stuck in the rut of middle class but coming up short on requirements on my aspirations to one day make it to comfortable wealth

I'm stuck... between weakness and strength

Stuck between breaking and being able to stretch to my full length.
