(Read from top to bottom.)
Consider this.
The thin line exists between two extremes,
Obsession and Indifference;
 
It forever occupies the brain.
All thoughts are consumed by the one thing being chased endlessly,
Obsession;
 
It disallows anyone or anything to get to close.
The one thing no longer matters and is never considered at all,
Indifference;
