Nothing you do will ever take
place in the middle. Tilts are an integral
part of the path. Mustn’t be too careless though,
the edges will promise an easy way out. To slip is to
be stranded outside of consequence. Free from it all
and yet enslaved to your own reflection. Forever
wondering what life could’ve been like if
you tried to stay in the middle.

Eyes + Words 
There is no ideal mean / median or equator in the social universe. No real middle ground for emotions.
Either you matter or you don’t .
To be stranded outside of consequence does happen when you overdo anger , hatred or other negative emotions. A strong opponent will make you feel inconsequential if you hurt them beyond their own recognition of themselves.
It is better to stick to the middle ground in executing dark intentions. Too much good seldom causes bad , too much bad is sure to comeback in this circle of life.

the opener sounds like wisdom to me. the poem becomes an extended metaphor which has some interesting insights.

if my analogy serves me right, that if you are a middle child, and always in the middle of things, you are nothing but a pillar of the scale itself. Thus creating nothing but balance and to uphold your own balance.

when you’ve walked the middle long enough, you realise that the discovery of life actually exists on the edges 🙂
