"_________?"

put me through a struggle
and make me suffer,
only then you would see
if i'd die or live.

i do not own anyone,
and that includes you dear.
your life is your own,
and it is you who lives it dear.
the choice is yours to be made,
and insignificant am i in making it dear.

then i asked myself, "___________?"
i answered, "___________________________."
