Neither attachment nor detachment.

Stuck somewhere in the middle,

Not too close, not too far,

It’s a safe place to be,

Neither attachment, nor detachment, is the key.

Not blocking everyone out,

Not letting anyone in,

Coward or smart, is the question, indeed.

It’s a safe place to be,

Neither attachment, nor detachment, is the key.

Getting hurt is not on my bucket list,

Losing potential memories, is not what I need, 

Safe and sound, aware of what’s going around,

It’s a safe place to be,

Neither attachment, nor detachment, is the key.

Walls with cracks, which haven’t given up yet,

A half open book, to be read,

I’m as safe as I’ll ever be,

Neither attachment, nor detachment, is the key.
