To Love or not to Love

• Description: I wrote this for a Senior project, about Hamlet's famous speech. The project was to create your own, and here is what I made. Out of the 4 years my teacher taught at my school, she told me in person this was the most moving peice she'd ever read.

To love or not to Love, That is the Question

Whether it is right to follow in the footsteps of ones own emotions

Or wrong to tread them, and find heartbreak

But to love is to live, and to not love is to be empty

With love, you may share experiences and joy you would never be able to expereince alone

With love, you can be happy.

But happiness comes at a risk, which is heartbreak

Is it so wrong to tell one how you feel, and then be turned down

After putting so much effort just to tell them.

Is it worth putting your life on the line to say those three words?

Without love, you become empty, a shadow of your former self

Is it worth risking everything, or throw it all away within a deepening abyss of lonliness

Is happiness worth the risk of dying inside?

Perhaps this isnt my place to decide.

This is really good. In my opinion it depends who you are for love to be worth it.
