I believe
because without the unseen,
I turn gray and empty and waste away.
I believe because there must be a reason
and if there is none, I must make my own.
I believe because if we can imagine
the impossible, we must.
I believe because all life
comes from yearning after
things that do not exist.
I believe because
it makes me greater than I am.
I believe because to think I am
no more than the animal I am,
eating sleeping shitting fucking,
understanding questioning inventing nothing,
insults my soul though
I do not know why.
I believe though it breaks my heart.
I believe though I want to surrender.
I believe because I have no choice.
I believe because I choose to believe.
I believe because I cannot believe
there is no reason to believe.
