My reluctant footsteps….

On entering the tunnel my heartbeat went into an overdrive

The boom boom echoed in my eardrums rendering me slightly deaf

Sweat drip from my pores as my claustrophobia takes charge

I don’t want to go forward but there’s no other option 


This is the only way………


The way to exit this maze of bewilderment 

This passage is narrow, obstructive, and limiting

My reluctant footsteps seek to find the desired destination 

I fight with my instinct to turn back and cede defeat 

But fight I must as this is the only way 


To find the light that resides at the end of the tunnel
