to be

to be or not to be isn't really a question at all

to be is to exist and we do despite our wishes

you can do everything right and still fail

you can do everything wrong and prevail

life is a game of luck

not skill

it doesn't matter the force of your will

not to be what?

pessimistic

altruistic

a nihilist

an optimist

not to be what?

not to exist

I can't choose that

existence is forced upon me and I could act to take it back

but then

I'd be the empty space

I'd be my friends heartache

I'd be my own worst enemy

all because someone thought to ask

to be or not to be
