New Release: 'No Right Way' is out now.
This song came from the exhausting middle ground of trying to hold two people together when neither can see the other clearly. You see how incredible they both are. You see the good in each of them. You see the ways they could fit if they just looked a little closer. But they cannot. Or they will not. And so you end up in the space between them, doing your best to bridge the gap, to keep the peace, to make things work. And no matter what you do, it falls short.
You try one way and it is wrong. You try another and it is wrong. You stay quiet and that is wrong. You speak up and that is wrong. Every move feels like a misstep. Every choice feels like it hurts someone. You cannot choose sides without causing more conflict. You cannot stay neutral without being pulled apart. You end up carrying the weight of their disconnection on top of your own confusion. And the hardest part is knowing there is no right way out of it. There is only the way that hurts the least . . for now.
The Weight of the Middle
Being in the middle is its own kind of lonely. You are not the one fighting. You are not the one leaving. You are the one trying to keep everyone from falling off the edge. But the edge keeps shifting. The rules keep changing. The expectations keep moving. You are blamed for not fixing what was never yours to fix. You are blamed for not choosing when choosing was never fair. You are blamed for being there at all. And the more you try to do the right thing, the more you realize there is no right thing. There is only the next thing . . and hoping it does not make everything worse.
The "Still Here" Perspective
I have learned I can only control how I show up in the middle. I cannot make them see each other. I cannot make them stop hurting each other. I definitely cannot make the conflict disappear. But I can stop taking the blame that is not mine. I can stop believing I am the problem. I can stop thinking there is a perfect move that will fix everything. I can accept that some gaps cannot be bridged by one person alone. I can accept that doing my best is still doing something, even when it falls short. I can accept that being in the middle does not mean I have to stay there forever.
If you have ever found yourself caught between two people who cannot see each other . . if you have ever tried to bridge a gap that kept widening no matter what you did . . if you have ever realized there is no right way to keep everyone from hurting . . this song is for you.
