To Be or Not To BE

To Be or Not To Be

Sitting on your couch and staring at the two pills,

You wonder why you are attracted to swallow the black

When all have told white is your way up the hill.

Your mind plays what your heart aches to forget,

How trapped in others’ prejudice and perspectives

Your soul was offset.

You yearned for blue, admired red, romanticized pink and cherished yellow.

Yet you settled for white as it was pure and preferred, and

You feared rejecting it would make you hollow.

Oh, dear! But you were always meant to embrace

The chaos, the enigma and the fearlessness.

Don’t you worry, if it is right to be or not to be,

Rather I wish you chase

Your every dream and desire

As black is the only fit

To your every bit.
