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.
