On.

On the line
Not over the line
Certainly not behind it
I stand on the line
With an odd curiosity and pride

Creation of separation
Segregation
Standing on that line
I make a statement loud and clear
With a strange fear of mine

I gave thought to putting one foot on each side
Compromise
Separating myself
Now I stand on that line
With an unfamiliar fierceness

I stand on that line
Not in front of it
Definitely not behind it
That line
With perseverance to diminish it
