THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL

Posted on at


There is a light at the end of the tunnel is all I know,

And it continues to glow,

Dim at first, but it is there,

But as I walk towards it, the journey gets queer.

Something gets in my way,

But I don’t allow the obstacles to stay,

Because if it bocks out the light,

Of my aim, I might lose sight.

There is a light at the end of the tunnel is all I know,

To get to it, I will go wherever I have to go,

But I will have to be careful and smart,

Overcoming obstacles is just a start.

So I keep on going,

The goal is within reach yet the light doesn’t brighten but the darkness continues growing,

Like the thorns of a cactus, my conscience gets pricked with doubt,

Yet the fight is still left in me, so I move forward with a final shout.

But going forward has now become my greatest fear,

Looking behind, there is no one here,

I am all alone,

My confidence no longer has the same tone.

What am I doing?

How long will I keep going?

Alone on this path, where no friend seems to be there to help,

For a sign, a symbol, some meaning in life, I yelp.

And then I see it, yet again

It finally feels like, I am sane,

So I continue my journey to reach for the stars,

Because I believe you can’t move forward without leaving behind some scars.

I have decided that I will go on and on,

I don’t know when I will reach, but be it dusk or dawn,

My steps will not stumble now even if it requires all my will,

Because the light at the end of the tunnels continues to glow still.
