Should I

Should I play in the snow
Though it will freeze my fingers?

Or learn some new songs
Though I'm not the best singer?

Should I Dance under a full moon
Whilst Naked as I was born?

Or Wrap myself in a blanket
So Soft, quilted, and worn?

Should I test all the rules
And try pressing my chances?

Or find a new hobby
Though it draws strange glances?

Should I fall in love again
Only to find myself alone?

Or turn out my heart
And replace it with stone?

Should I live my life freely
On the wings of a prayer?

Or tuck up in a corner
Overwrought with despair?

Should I end this small poem
To relieve your light burden?

Or send it on in your mind
'Till You are quite certain?

Should I?

Author notes

Sometimes I wonder about things.. Should I do this, Or.. Should I Do that..

    I've asked myself some of these questions. Usually it's worth it just to doing something daring, at least you know you're still alive. Very nice!

    <--- I wish I knew the answer to this one.

    I loved this poem. It had an excellent flow, great rhyme, and was enjoyable and fun to read.

    Well done.

    love it

    this is a very good poem, though it seems plain and shrill it becomes obvious that its deeper than it appearers about half way down. In my opinion it was written very good and I liked it allot. It seems like you've been considerings things allot and just cant make up your mind, which is something allot of people struggle with,making this an excelent poem. Hope my comment helped, because what I said is true i my opinion.

    oh I know what it's like feeling like this. Sometimes I just get in a thinking mood where I think and wonder about the weirdest things. It's crazy!
    Great write! I like the rhyming and the rythm!

    I like this piece. The rhythm seemed kind of off at points, but it seemed very heartfelt and sincere, although not "Heavy"... It was nice. I like it. It reflects life in a way that doesn't make you feel bogged down, and the rhyming didn't feel forced... good job!

    Let it go in the minds of many because it's no burden to read something like this and think about the questions it poses. I like poetry that makes us question what we do and what is around us. It exercises the mind to think further and is far better than being told what to think and feel when we read. I enjoyed reading this and hope many others do too.

    v nice

    nice job.the questions u pose sound simple enough but are actually v deep. especially like 'Should I fall in love again/Only to find myself alone?
    Or turn out my heart/And replace it with stone? rhyming is v good.
