Author's note:  This piece is about life.  The dark tunnel is all the things you have yet to discover about yourself.  In life you look into it and don't know what to do or who you are.  It seems dark, but you soon go in and try new things.  You may get lost or even fail, like in the tunnel.  In the end, you will get to the end of the tunnel and figure out who you are and things about yourself. 

I step into the tunnel and look into it
The tunnel is dark in front of me
I know that there is light at the end
It will be a painful journey to get to the end

Good things come to those who wait they say
I just want to get to the end
I stumble and fall on the way trying to go too quickly

Soon I get caught in the middle of the dark tunnel and don't know where to go
I need help
I need someone to guide me
 I think I am alone
I think I am lost

Idon't know how to get back
To get to the light
Who do I turn to?
In this dark tunnel?
What do I do?
How do I cope?
Do I give up?
No.

I will do my best and get to the end
I will figure out the way
In the end I will discover it
I will take small steps back and get lost again
But I know for sure
I will reach the end
