FireIce

I swing between extremes 

try to catch me

where you see me I have already left

I don’t know what I am afraid will happen if I am caught

but I fear something bad

I’ve been caught before only to have it crash

so I try to fall into the pit

where I will be covered by shadows

When younger I led a fairly frenetic existence but over the years I have settled in a more central if not neutral place. I love the last two lines of your poem. I don´t readily understand them but they seems so fitting.
