Alicia Shonta Poet Free verse

Wouldn'T You

wouldn't you rather win, would you rather lose 
succeed than fail 
rise above than get left behind
wouldn't you rather love 
and not be hurt 
laugh and not not be weary 
cry but tears of joy 
be happy without sadness
creeping around the corner 
wouldn't you rather be rich than poverty 
stricken 
quiet than to voice most opinions 
wouldn't you rather be positive than let negative 
overwhelm you 
it all a choice 
individual principality 
the way life is 
without questions, without definite 
nothing is concrete until you add 
the main ingredients.
