What happens,
When you run out of friends.
You’ve used up the ones,
Who were there to defend.
There are thousands,
In the front,
With friends,
To spare.
And those,
In the back,
With nothing,
But themselves.
In the middle ground,
You hold your own,
You hold your ground.
In the middle ground,
You hold your own,
You hold your ground.
But for how long?
The ghosts come crawling,
Back to you.
All of your pain,
You thought you were through.
By standing in the middle ground.

I am interested to know your thought processes for repeating 'In the middle ground, You hold your own, You hold your ground.'
At first I assumed you were emphasizing the point by placing it in the middle of the poem, but that is not the case.

Those in the middle of the herd give up freedom of movement for a smaller chance of being eaten than those on the edge.

Amazing!!!
I really really like it!
Sad but yet capturing the esence of hope and believing that you are strong enough to stand alone!

middle ground look LOST in people's eyes...actually it is not.
That is the final part of self realised and self discovered...even surrounded by million friends, they themselves also impossible to give.
I call this GIFT from the GOD!!!!

It's rather repetitive.
