From my past: a poem from a friend, and my reasons why..
I feel like I live in a long, long tunnel.
I keep walking every day, miles and miles, but I never get to see the light.
It's cold and lonely.
Sad... and depressing.
There is no laughter there.
No joy, no such thing as happiness.
Only angry, piercing words that leave a scar in my heart.
Day by day, they jab at me, the pain un-explainable.
I try to scream, but my mouth doesn't move.
I try to call for help, but my feet are attached to the ground.
Hopeless-ness fills the holes.
Why did god give me this destiny?
Why should he pain me?
My head filled with questions, yet none of them answered.
So lonely and hopeless, in my dark tunnel...


Once she walked a long, long tunnel,
Step after step, never losing her fight
At times it was harsh and she begged to let go
But I promised her she’d see the light

Once she searched a long, long tunnel
Tried every turn and turned every stone
Sad, cold, feeling out on her own
But I promised her she’s not alone

Once she pained in a long, long tunnel
Consumed by the words cut surreal
Helpless to beg and begging for help
But I promised her those scars would heal

Once she cried in a long, long tunnel
Heard naught but the fading of dreams
Lost all the laughter and cursed the ignored
But I promised her I’d hear her screams

Once she asked in a long, long tunnel
Which black sin had she commit?
Her head pounding deep with the questions and lies
But I promised her living was worth it

Once she smiled in a long, long tunnel
An act that lit up my sky
Learnt that the others were nothing at all
And she promised me she would soar high
