The light in the tunnel,

Seems so far,

I think that it may dim.

Drowning to a darker place,

Where I know,

I cannot swim.

It's painful,

Yet it's peaceful,

And I just want to be free.

Of all the burdens,

All the pain,

That is surrounding me.

Time and time again,

I try,

And yet I just get crushed.

Following the bright light,

In a silence that is hushed.

So I reach out,

And I grab it,

I know the light is mine.

Determined,

pressing on,

Toward something quite divine.

I've made it.
