Perilous Impetus
I'm weighing the pros and cons
Of attempting to cross the frozen pond
A laughing shadow haunts
I know I have to go beyond
Will the ice crack beneath my feet?
Will I sink under in defeat?
Will I make it by the skin of my teeth?
Will I tread hastily and with ease?
I'm still waiting to see
What my real fate will be
Face the fears
That hold me back
Replace the years
Of old that lacked
I won't yield
A bold attack
I'll cross the field
Of cold intact
Of attempting to cross the frozen pond
A laughing shadow haunts
I know I have to go beyond
Will the ice crack beneath my feet?
Will I sink under in defeat?
Will I make it by the skin of my teeth?
Will I tread hastily and with ease?
I'm still waiting to see
What my real fate will be
Face the fears
That hold me back
Replace the years
Of old that lacked
I won't yield
A bold attack
I'll cross the field
Of cold intact

I get a very Game of Thrones vibe from this. It has a great deal of internal conflict I enjoy.
Thanks for reading! Undefined struggles seem most relatable because we all have our own struggles to go through. Can't wait for new GoT season to start
