The question is not "To be or not to be..."
"To be or not to be, that is the question" - NOT!
Most people have been troubled with this question, they have tried everything to satisfy THE QUESTION. But THE QUESTION is not THE REAL QUESTION. In fact there is no real question, but we do have CHOICE. CHOICE, the basis of all things good and evil. Will you choose to do good or will evil be your cornerstone?
Some say that man is fundamentally evil, some say its the other way around, I say, man is who he chooses to be. You can't be evil or good just because someone says so. You have the power of CHOICE - so choose well.
I chose to be who I am now, it may not be as peachy as I pictured it to be gazillion of years ago. But hey, this is my life and I would not change any single detail in it because all the mistakes and decisions that I have made good or bad have made me the person that I am right now. I CHOSE THEREFORE I AM. NO REGRETS.
I AM A POET, I AM A WRITER, I AM A WIFE, I AM A MOTHER, I AM ME. NO MORE NO LESS.

Eternal Agony
Reaping for my soul,
the source of my life.
Angry crowds putting me down,
Down the drain,
The drain of my existence.
Saddened faces filled with gloom,
Blocking the light,
The light in my eyes.
Here I am, all alone,
Laying in the dark,
wasting into eternal agony...
The Pact
From thoughts a-tumbling,
Give me back what once is mine
For you it won't be worth a dime.
Heart is bleeding,
the trees are sighing.
Take pity on me, I pray, I beg...
Give him back,
Don't pull my leg!
Tears a-falling,
The earth for me is grieving...
I need him back here by my side,
Even the moon had
volunteered to be his guide.
Blood turning cold,
Give me warmth before I grow old.
I need him now,
I beg of you give him back.
Dear Distance, give him back
and honor our pact!
Slumber
darkness around
rain through my window
heartache resounds
sobs come in gushes
shoulders quaver
while some footstep passes
try to hide the shudder
time swiftly flows
star veil on clouds
in her eyes weariness shows
for crying out loud
tears are now dried
breathing is even
i roll to my side
sleep's a passing heaven.
What do you think?
love me, hate me, the choice is yours
