The Light At the End of the Tunnel

They told me that
There is light at the
End of the tunnel.
They told me that I 
Do not lose my hope.
That there is light-
Somewhere at the end-
Yet they did not say
The tunnel 
Would be like this.
So long and so dark
Is it even a tunnel?
I don’t know anymore
If I am going forward
Or back
Where I came from?
What if I see a light?
And I'm at the beginning
Of it all...
