Staying alive

You call me at every step, with promise of truth and light,

Things for which you know I'll be willing to put up a fight.

I wonder why I can't join you.

Are these glimpses of my future self?

Things that I am yet to see?

May be, deep down, I want to remain here for now, and struggle,

So that I truly deserve the gifts that you offer to me so freely.
