To Be or Not to Be

To be or not to be...
Is not the question I ask myself every night.
I do not bend at the bathroom floor
To pick at the blade from my razor.
I do not drag it across my skin
Just to feel "relief."
And when I get a bad grade
I do not hide, Nor do I ignore,
That something needs to be done
and fix it with help-
That I asked for Myself.

To be or not to be
Is not the question I ask myself every day.
When something goes wrong,
Between a friend and me,
And she wont work it out
I give her space and let her think.
I do not borrow a Pill or two
And run to the bathroom
To ease my troubled mind.

To be or not to be
Will never Be the question
I ask myself what I want.
To be all I can be
Is always the answer to
What can I be?

That, Is the Question.

I came up with a prompt to give my writer's club
because about a month ago was HIGH stress for most students. A lot of my friends were having issues and it was really hard to look at everyone and say " it's going to get better."

So, for my Prompt I said,
Write a Monologue or Poem that says:

"To be or not to be, that is never/not the question"
or
"To be or not to be, that is the last thing he/she said to me"

And the prompts are due this Thursday, im so anxious to hear everyones ideas!

Please critique.
