Phobia
i stand on a precipice.
the world is laid out before me at impossible angles
and i am told to choose which way to go.
i have no map. no compass. no sense of direction.
just instinct.
which path do i choose?
do i choose the one
that runs in a straight line to the end of infinity.
no bends. no breaks. no obstacles to be seen.
do i choose the one
that twists and turns to an indiscernible end.
all bends. no breaks. impossible obstacles.
do i choose the one
less traveled by like all those before me
unknown bends. unknown breaks. unknown obstacles.
do i choose the one
that ends at my feet and travels no further.
no bends. one break. and nothing more.
i choose
i choose
i choose
i choose
i choose
i choose
the precipice crumbles beneath my feet and i am left
with no choice at all.
