Which way will I fall?
Will The Void suck me in?
When do my black celebrations begin?
Will they mourn me and weep
Or just go back to sleep
And dream of more interesting things?
How strong must I be
To climb up from the fall?
Or should I surrender and hide from it all?
Will it dampen my soul
If I dwell in this hole?
Far out of earshot from destiny's call.
Such potential untapped
Trickling idly through my veins
Or dripping from my fingers into nearby drains.
Who will recognise
The light behind these eyes?
Scared to risk failure again.
Which way will I fall?
Will I hit solid ground?
With a satisfying thud or a deadening sound?
Will I rise to my feet,
Turn my face to the heat?
And march on ahead as I brush myself down...

Option 5. Burnt out with no motivation. Wanting to move forward but can't.
