This is Hamlet's Third Soliloquy. I kept the form but changed some words to transform it.
Emulation of Hamlet's Third Soliloquy


To try or not to try, that is the question
Whether 'tis easier in life to abandon
The fruits and berries of my labor
Or to put forth effort against the pressures of life,
And by trying halt them. To think- to study
Nothing more; and by studying to think we dissolve
The pressures and the stress of life
That is now natural in itself. 'Tis a misconception
Only to be wished. To think- to study.
To study- perchance to learn: Ay, what a thought!
For to study so profusely what things would you learn.
When we have obstacles left and right,
Must halt us. There's no guarantee
That learning will be the result.
For who would bear the time wasted and gone,
The energy never to return, the loss of friends,
The effort losing steam, the words you
Read which will never be remembered again
When you yourself might waste
Your life? Who would burden
And bear the work and sweat into one's life,
But to have nothing in return
The casualties never repaid, from never
Having tranquility- makes me wonder,
And makes me rethink the ideas I have
Thought as right
Thus the word "try" should no longer exist,
And thus trying should be nothing but a dream that
Is cast out of the mind
And thought of no more
With this regard I believe I am right
And trying loses its appeal forever
