To be or not to be, such a strong verse
It could mean love or a devilish curse
It means whether to be alive or die of a horrible deed
But at the end of the day why does it matter
Its all just in a heartbeat
When I was in theater that day, I thought to myself
What is life?
Life is love, hope, sacrifice, honor, doubt, anger anxiety sickness
Exhaustion, laughter, happiness, affection, excitement, warmth,
coldness, harshness, sadness, and depression
From a mother’s womb to an old man or a dog or cat, even the grass is alive
Because mother earth is a life, and she carries us to make us one
To be or not to be…. My voice echoed through the theater
Everyone cheered and applauded me the actor
Me, ten year old me, stood there in silence
I smiled because I know at the end of the day…
The life and death are not that different after all
Because its all just in a heartbeat
