The Middle

There IS life in the middle
	though the in-between 
	tends to get lost
	in the midst of the
	glitz of glamor 
	and the angered angst of
	"I didn't have nuthin'
	and look what I made of myself."
	At least,
	middling,
	one can shout the words that dazzle
	and create an idol
	for the audience making them believe
	...as if you still don't have anything
but are doing just fine.
