"to care or not to care"

To care or not to care, yes thats the question:
is it better in our minds to not,
and live a quiet life of lies,
than to actually live, and take charge,
and in that action find who one truly is. In that,
in our deepest thoughts, do we think to end,
that which is our darkness, our demons,
that flesh is heir to. It's a thought to definately consider,
a hope to strive for. To face your darkness, to care,
to think of the end. Yeah, that the problem all right,
for in facing those demons, who knows what skeletons one may find,
having decided to fight, and not cower in fear,
must stop our hands. There's the heart of the matter,
that makes it so hard to do.
for who would think to fight,
againt the certain doom of these inner selves,
who to live, and who to die,
in order that all peace may be had,
when it's so much easier just to die. Who would,
in their right mind, suffer through this terrible task,
but the fear of what lies beyond,
in this undiscovered country,
from which no one ever returns, yes it definately makes one think:
would we trade our known pains, for those that aren't?
are we that naive?
for we are held captive by our fear,
and even the greatest endeavors of mankind,
are turned to dust by the inability to act.
