If to be or not to be is the only question,

I'd like to offer one simple suggestion

I want to question the question

Is it for being who you want?

Or is it acting in a role

That for your life, it will haunt?

To please one you care of,

Or to make a better life?

For making it easier to travel the rough,

Or to travel an easy flight?

If to be one that's from your will,

You will pass at ease and lay perfectly still.

But if you take upon the burden of the earth,

The soul might never ease, even at a second birth

So to be or not to be, it might not be the question

But being who you truly are, is my suggestion

Changing a destiny that is not your's

Can truly create something gore

The true being of who you be,

Will be the you you truly seek

So don't take him wrong,

Old Grampa Bard

His characters were made unbelievebly strong,

And their situations were hard

Those were all stories of the fictional life,

And we should be thankful we're not all at the end of the knife.
