To Be or Not To Be

by LadyLk   Jul 21, 2010


To live in pain knowing everything you've done is right,
Or
To live happy, knowing you've done wrong to get there.

To awaken and push yourself to achieve your goals,
Or
To sleep, dream, and escape from reality.

To marry the one you love but to remain unhappy with them,
Or
To have one at your side, whom you aren't in love with, but with whom you remain content.

To live suffering everyday,
Or
To condemn yourself to hell and let other's hurt instead.

To die miserably but having the one you loved with you everyday
Or
To die content but having lived without the love of your life.

To be happy or not to be happy.
To be in love or not to be in love.
And to be with one, is to be without the other.
So to be or not to be??
That!
Is the question!
