I walk bravely in fear
and know that I will fail
for what other outcome is there?
And yet,
                   I can not think of not proceeding.
This is my life -
This is my all -
                                without it there is nothing.
No point to Be
                             even though I would still exist.
No
I do not do this because I must
I do this because it is what I am.
and if I do not, than why am I?

It is my choice
                                mine alone
and yet
                could there ever be a choice
I do this because
I have always done this
                                                and
I will always have done this.
Is it free will or destiny?
I can choose to become
                                                 nothing...
but is that a choice?
