The Tunnel

What lies at the end of the tunnel?

I ask myself, afraid to walk in...

I can see a light

Burning at a far distance

And yet

My steps falter as I tread in...

The darkness overwhelms me

The silence seems eerie

Are there really ghosts in there?

Or is it just me?

'It's just a tunnel', I tell myself

Swallowing my fear as I step inside

The silence suddenly echoes

And my heart paces a thousand miles...

I know I can walk back

Quite easily, actually

But I choose to move forward

Slowly and steadily...

Eventually, I reach the end

And there's light I see

Not just at the other end

I see it, inside me!
