A Faint Glimmer of Hope

I can scarcely believe it,
but it’s been nearly eighteen weeks
since I’ve wanted to end it.
I am tempted to deny
ever feeling like that,
but I did -
I just wanted to do die
to get away from the pain.
So these anti-depressant tablets
must be helping me.
For four weeks I’ve taken them.
My fears that they would not help,
were unfounded.
And is it true?
Can I see a faint glimmer of light now?
How many others
are there out there,
suffering like me?
I wish I could help
and comfort them,
but I wouldn’t know how,
I don’t even know
how to survive this myself.
