To Be Or Not To

to be or not to be
a question hamlet asked..
to reveal and let others see 
the pain that he masked
hamlet,how alike are you and I?
not in situation but in soul
in the end , will we both die
giving away to the deep dark hole
poisoned  by the the pain so real
that touches every part
numbing us till we start not to feel
the beating in our heart
to be or not to be
to be or not to be…

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
