To Be Or Not To Be

Shakespear once wrote,
"To be or not to be".
About a trouble soul,
about to decide on destiny.

Its a question only one can answer,
to choose between life or death.
To either choose living with the pain,
or end it with lifes final breath.

Some call it a selfish act,
in this I don't believe.
Loneliness and sadness,
can and will destory dreams.

I live in a sad world,
and even with the pain and loneliness within me.
Even with the confusion,
I still choose "To Be"
