People give up too easily:
When things look bad,
Do I run?
Do I cry?
Do I abandon all hope?
And cower away in Dispair’s little hole?
Do I turn tail and flee to somewhere safer?
Do I kneel before the problem and let it take victory over me?
Let it take authority over me?
Allow it to control me?
Turn me into it’s slave?
Become it’s helpless victim?
Or do I stand my ground?
Do I fight?
Do I rebel?
Will I have the courage to retaliate?
And find a way to win?
Should I ignore it’s fearsome snarl?
Do I work my way to the route of the problem?
Make it disappear?
Become the one in control?
Turn it into my strength?
And face the fear with every ounce of courage I have?
Of course not. That would be suicide.

Loads of questions in this little write. Very interesting. I was sort of getting tired of the multiple questions, but then the ending hit me with a surprise.
Thanks for sharing.

Yeah, well I started this poem with high hopes and then thought, 'Aww... what the heck, let's put something random in just to make it unique.' I admit, the questions annoy me a little, but I think it was the only way of getting the full effect of the poem.
