Should i rise today <br /> or just stay fallen? <br /> <br />Should i breath right now, <br /> or hold my breath? <br /> <br />Should i care today, <br /> or stay numb? <br /> <br />Should i love <br /> or stay alone? <br /> <br />Should i write <br /> or scribble a mess? <br /> <br />Should i walk <br /> or crawl? <br /> <br />Should i smile <br /> or frown? <br /> <br />Should i make my own decisions, <br /> or let others for me? <br /> <br />Should i try to walk father then before, <br /> or have people mock me? <br /> <br />Should i try to put on a show, <br /> or just show the true me. <br /> <br />Should i learn to accept that this is my home, <br /> or live that nightmare over? <br /> <br />Should i show you how i feel, <br /> or runaway and cry? <br /> <br />Should you care for a girl who brakes down and cries <br /> when her family reminds her of what she'll never be. <br /> <br />I do not ask for much. <br /> all i ask is what people tell me <br /> <br />All i do is what people tell me <br /> but what if i made my own choice for once? <br /> <br />Should i cry and stay hurt, <br /> or try to laugh and smile? <br /> <br />Whats it gonna be, <br /> you tell me <br /> since thats all ill ever be forced to be <br /> because i cant chose for me.<br /><br />Darlene Belcher<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/should-i-37/
