Shall I celebrate my return to life

Or will I know I am facing more strife

Too many struggles wear a body down

Sorrow makes souls want to not come back 'round

I'll come back again because I suppose

I'll have unfinished business left in droves

Stories without endings, and the laundry

To return or not is the soul's quandary

I suppose no matter what the trouble

If asked, I'll be back here on the double

Come back again to give it one more try

How is there such a foolish soul as I?

I know some folks I'll want to see again

I wish fewer broken hearts and more friends

NaPoWriMo: Write a poem about something that comes back. I'm the proverbial bad penny. You can't get rid of me.
