Both Sides Now

I’m the problem solver,
I’m the instigator;
I’m the impediment
And the facilitator.

I’m the middle
And I’m the end.
I convey the truth,
Even when I pretend.

I’m loved;
I am rejected.
I am kissed,
I’m left dejected.

I yearn for hugs,
Though I am held.
My words are lost,
Even when yelled.

I contribute little;
But every decision is mine;
I have it all;
But I am running out of time.

I’m the puzzle;
I am the clue;
I can be just me –
And yet a part of you.

    There is a shift from things happening to me and people doing things to me or people not doing things for me to , well, i am……
    I hope that within a years i too am able to achieve such clarity.

    Then again i could be 100 percent off the mark 🙃🙃
