Perfectly captured, comprehensively and dashingly worded, I so admired these exploding emotions from your deep inside. You thought you might be pulverized after those stones having been thrown simultaneously, I have no doubt, you are stronger than you think and you posses more power in your emotional inside. I knew these situations too well, dear Mrs. Juan-Austin. You are the survival of the smartest, I reckon. Sublimest gem, so true

Nicely written verse, but the question is, can anyone really stay always in the middle?

(cont.) ..after reading stanza one, but before reading stanza two, i was thinking of the expression between a rock and a hard place. THEN you mention Two stones! ! ! could the two stones be people you know e.g. your parents, grandparents, OR do you refer to groups of people whose political views differ from yours? Please, don't get pulverized! you are too nice of a person for that to happen! ! (cont.) ...

be·twixt: preposition & adverb - archaic term for between.........i like the word and i've heard it before, probably when i was reading Joys of Archaicisms by Bri Edwards! it is actually (at least) the second archaic aka old-fashioned word i've Googled today, after reading it/them in PH poems! the other was thither, an adverb meaning there.
