Excerpt from Hanging Ghosts by Sheldon Flett:

I AM SOMETHING

I AM not all light

I AM not all dark

I AM SOMETHING IN THE MIDDLE

Sometimes I fiddle

Just a little

Making my way

Can be okay

LIGHT-DARK

DARK-LIGHT

It all comes together

Like a riddle

I prove my way

Good times and bad times

Lessons paving the way

Knowing all the while

I AM not all light

I AM not all dark

I AM SOMETHING

In the middle

And that’s ok
