The Tunnel

The tunnel is dark and cold

But I think I see a flicker of light

Oh no wait, the light is out of my site

Unable to see I try to feel my way around

I grabble and grovel to the light I wish I found

Sharp and jagged rocks try to trample me from what I seek

But I stay consistent even though I am weak

This tunnel is long and narrow

I feel as if I am alone

If this is true

I would not be able to move

Something is there pushing me through

Helping me and guiding me to the truth

I feel a warm breeze that comforts me

I just might make it out of the tunnel

Into the light to be annihilated, I wish every night
