Read the dialogue from Act I, scene iv of Romeo and Juliet.

Romeo: I have a soul of lead
So stakes me to the ground I cannot move.

Which best adapts this dialogue for a modern audience while maintaining the original meaning?

My leaden soul doth stake me to the ground whence I cannot move.
I’m so depressed that I feel like my soul’s made of lead and I can’t move.
My soul, brimming o’er with lead, hast made me so heavy I cannot move.
I am very tired, I feel like I can’t get up or move from where I’m sitting.
