"Believing"

Darkness is closing in on me.
I long to glimpse some light: be free.
I could submit, but don't know how.
I have to keep believing now.

Each day seems longer than the last -
haunted by nightmares of a past,
from which I must escape somehow:
I have to keep believing now.

I tried to commit suicide.
I nearly got my wish, and died.
I've come this far.  Not too sure how.
I have to keep believing now.

Stay close to me, and I will try
to comprehend the reasons why.
It's time: I must move forward now.
I have to keep believing now.
