I love the theme, the thoughts behind it and the flow of the thoughts. There feels like there is something off about the ... and here i don't know my terms... tempo... the flow of the words. Unfortunately I am not a poet and I would probably make a mess of the piece if tried to offer suggestions.
However I will say that the piece reminds me of an episode of House (imagine that)...
House: "... I choose to believe that the white light people sometimes see, visions, this patient saw: they're all just chemical reactions that take place when the brain shuts down."
Foreman: "You choose to believe that?"
House: "There's no conclusive science. My choice has no practical relevance to my life, I choose the outcome I find more comforting."
Cameron: "You find it more comforting to believe that this is it?"
House: "I find it more comforting to believe that this isn't simply a test."
