Who to be:
Who I want
Or who I am?

To climb
And struggle.
Fight the demon.
Slay the dragon.

-Or-

To relax
And enjoy
Have the cake
And eat it, too

Vexed.
Perplexed.
Is the struggle
Worth the pain

Will I be
Happy with
Who I became?

Fight the battle
Or lay down arms
If either way, I die;

If either way
I decompose
Into food for trees.

Who I am is good enough
Though who I could be
Is better.

But why be better?
