"Cycle"

Flickering lights of ambition.
Warning lights glare.
Lost it again.
Read.
Write.
Dream.
IGNITION!
Full-speed.
No time for rest.
So much to do.
Dreams to reach.
Goals to achieve.
What were they again?
Depression.
Inactivity.
Flickering light of ambition.
Warning lights glare.
Lost it again.
Read.
Write.
Dream.
Dream.
Reach...
Depression.
Searching for dreams,
goals.
There's one!
Lost it.
Depression.
Bright red.
Immobility.
Futureless.
Read.
Search.
Rest.
Rest.
Depression.
DEATH.
