That Place Between

That place between the Happy &Sad,
That empty place inside,
ThatÃs where I am, most of the time.
ThatÃs where I like to hide.

Whenever I leave my hiding place
I know that IÃll get hurt.
So I curl up inside myself
Just so I wonÃt get burnt.

IÃm all alone inside of me.
Lonely: but not in pain.
Sometimes I feel IÃm cracking up,
I hope IÃm not insane.

ThereÃs emptiness inside of me,
That cold unyielding shame.
For what? I canÃt be certain.
But my heart it wants to claim.

So IÃll save myself from itÃs grasp
Just in the nick of time.
IÃll leave that place between again.
To venture for awhile.
