In Or Out

The future looms
A light growing ever brighter
Rushing towards where I stand
Rabbit-frozen
Timidity overpowers me
How can I choose a path
When all agency
Flows from me like water
Fear beckons at every side
Half-whispers
Taunt my indecision
But I am stuck in place
Am I in or out?
If there is a third option
One not requiring conscious choice
That is mine
A life unlived
