LONG DARK TUNNEL

Long dark tunnel;
endless,
hopeless,
meaningless...

Feeling uncertain-
am I awake, or merely dreaming?
The world is dark and faded
in my canvass of life.

Liberation from suffocation
inside this empty closet.
I cannot breathe anymore,
I cannot see any further.

Long dark tunnel;
endless,
hopeless,
meaningless...

What am I living for?
What have I been waiting for?
Death is a promise that will always be fulfilled-
never be broken.

Escape is futile,
leading only to another futility.
I am blind in heart and mind...
I have forgotten how to be kind.
