the thought that makes my heart stop

by Jared Fladeland

i fear the mediocre.
i think that sometimes I myself suffer from being stuck in the middle.
this thought brings a cloud of water over my eyes.
i want to see beyond what is around me.
i know it's there. Waiting for me to reach beyond the physical.
and grasp it.

until then, i'm nothing but a shot in the dark.

"i think that sometimes I myself suffer from being stuck in the middle. this thought brings a cloud of water over my eyes" ... so well put Jared. I find myself feeling your whole poem quite often. We want to be more than mediocre. Maybe writing about it entices us to see beyond such?
