IN THE TUNNEL
As I stand at the mouth of a tunnel
I wonder what this journey will be—
Trials, I know, are inevitable.
I crawl into the tunnel's dark funnel
With each step, shadows deepen around me—
Trials, I know, are inevitable.
What my emotions say, I don't settle
I place my trust in instinct's decree—
As I stand at the mouth of a tunnel.
Each exit leads to another tunnel
The difficulty grows with each faint light—
Trials, I know, are inevitable.
Voices call as the end feels unattainable
Some scold, others urge me to fight—
As I stand at the mouth of a tunnel.
But my mind is set, hoping for the better
For life is a walk through a fearsome tunnel—
Trials, I know, are inevitable.
