light At The End of the tunnel

As I wander through the tunnel that is Life,
I wonder, I think, I question.
The tunnel is a dark abyss,
No way out, all hope gone.
The tunnel feeds on us all;
It steals our will to live.
The tunnel is strong,
But I am stronger, I will not give up.

I will survive, I will survive.
The darkness closes in,
I run, I flee.
The darkness is a mighty river;
It’s trying to carry me away.
The current is fast,
But I am faster, I will not give up.

I am smarter than the tunnel;
It pushes me forward, but I go back.
I have my hope and it guides me.
The current slows, knowing that I cannot be beat.
I slow to a walk; thinking that I have won.
The current speeds up; it knocks me down, it carries me away.
Life is smart,
But I am smarter, I will not give up.

The current carries me
Through the tunnel,
Past the darkness,
Into the light.
The light is death; all who enter it never return.
I am going faster, faster, never stopping;
The light nears, I have fears, I feel the tears,
I’m through, it is light.
Many come to greet me.
This is not death, yet Life with peace.
The tunnel tried to destroy me,
But I am whole, I did not give up.
