Should I?

Should I also go to
Where the world goes?
Or should I stay behind
And get aside to doze?

Should I stand against all?
And can I do thus?
Or should I let my voice
Get lost in the world’s fuss?

Should I shout and tell the world
What my heart wants?
Or should I then shut my mouth
And suppress all my thoughts?

Should I forget everything
And let my heart not think?
Or should I take this bitter cup
And force myself to drink.

Should I also believe what
Everyone considers true?
Or should I just shun everything
And trust in what I do.

Oh, what to say and what to do
When you are so tightly bound
When every door is shut on you
You’ve got to hang around!

Excellent write. I loved it. I hope you don't mind me taking the liberty to do a little correcting on it. Mostly tense changes. Should I also go to Where the world goes? Or should I stay behind And get aside to doze? Should I stand against all? And can I do thus? Or should I let my voice Get lost in the world’s fuss? Should I shout and tell the world What my heart wants? Or should I then shut my mouth And suppress all my thoughts? Should I forget everything And let my heart not think? Or should I take this bitter cup And force myself to drink. Should I also believe what Everyone considers true? Or should I just shun everything And trust in what I do. Oh, what to say and what to do When you are so tightly bound When every door is shut on you You've got to hang around! You are welcome to use my suggestions or to ignore them as you wish. I love this write. Respectfully, Rett: "Did you ever wonder if the politicians what want to ban guns went hunting with Dick Cheney?" Rett: 2008
