There's Unspoken Tension Between Poem by Broken Shell

There's Unspoken Tension

Between.

Between how it is and could be, desperately needs to be.

Between what you expected and what the results are.

Between what you hoped and what transpired.

Between what you deserved and what you received.

Between what you needed and what you got.

Between what you put in and what you got out.

Between your former potential and present regret.

Between the image you project and the inner you protect.

Between the pressures to perform and the poise to pull it off perfectly.

It's everywhere affecting everyone all the time.

We don't have to talk about it or even admit it now, but,

There's Unspoken Tension Between.
