Do I really have to?


I have a pile of things to do.
Done and put it behind me, I had to.
But then I think "Do I have to?"

I have somethings at which I have to improve.
Which does not sound like a walk in the park as it has to.
I have to do these as it deems that I have to.
But then I feel "Do I really have to?"

I do my stuff and leave at 2.
They say I have to put in more effort and to see to it that I do.
But then I wonder "Do I have to?"

It stinks to be in a position with nothing to do.
With only stupid questions haunting you.
Answers for which you have to search and you may get lost too.
But then I think "Do I have to?"

I wake up in the middle of the night after dreaming about you.
And I just want to sit and the dream I want to go through.
But my brain goes back to sleep as its used to.
But I feel "Do I have to?"

I got stabbed in the back with witnesses 2.
Walk away they say because they had to.
But I wonder "Do I have to?"

I want to throw paper weights at you.
I have a hard time restraining myself not to.
But then I think, I feel and wonder "Do I have to?"

P.S: Originally thought of it as a post. Sounded more poemey. Its kinda lame. What do you think?
P.P.S: Do you know there is a book on "how to write a 'how to write a book' book"..?? Cool eh..??
