what is then the next thing  
to do? retire 
retreat 
and hide?  
 
consider this 
what i did when i too feel like 
the same thing that  
you have 
 
i retire but only to recuperate 
i retreat only to evaluate 
and hide but only to recharge 
what energy i have lost 
 
the next morning i shall move 
again 
another timing and strategy 
another hope 
and expectation that finally 
luck shall be on my side 
that fortune awaits those 
that persist 
that there is always a place 
for those who wait 
and do things again 
despite.
