The Tunnel Of Despair Poem by Melissa Coleman

It stretches out boundlessly in every way
The darkness enveloped me whole
Except for the vague light from far away
It held me a great toll

The only thing I have left to spare
I follow it day and night
Without it I would not care
This holy light is what holds my life

When it falls short
I no longer see a reason to keep reaching
It makes me immediately want to abort
To just stop breathing

Till I can see its tiny speck
I chase after the only thing I have left
