Tunnel

by Michael D Nalley   Jun 21, 2008


Tunnel

Tunnel vision has got me down
I see evil darkness all around
I know that I cannot escape
For this is my eternal fate
Trapped forever, darkness remains
My emotions will stay contained
Unless I can find a guiding light
My world is stuck in the dark of night
I'll try to run and I'll try to hide
But I can't forget the tears I cried
I need compassion so I can heal
Someone who understands how I feel
I wish I could escape
So my life can reshape
The world around keeps turning
My soul is always yearning
This tunnel seems never ending
And my heart seems never mending
Do you say I was born this way?
To never see a brighter day?
If I was I need to fight
Just to see the godly light
Or maybe it just wants surrender,
To feel divine love that's so tender
*And when I finally come across this
*I promise, there's nothing I'll miss
I will shake the dust off, and not look back
Darkness cannot steal the light it may lack
When I see the light at the tunnels end
I will have found there an eternal friend

    This poem is very cute in a dark sort of way. it shows how much a firend/someone to understand you can mean to a person who is depressed.

    Nice collaboration. This is just a personal thing with myself, but I tend to prefer poems that aren't just written in one long stanza. I prefer poetry to be written in separate stanzas. The form of this one, and the rhyme scheme, sort of reminded me a bit of a rap. Not that that's a bad thing, but yeah.

    I really enjoyed the ending:

    "When I see the light at the tunnels end
    I will have found there an eternal friend."

    ^^ I like how the ending brought us back to the beginning with reminding us of the tunnel, yet it's spoken of in two totally different contexts. The beginning being very sombre and sad, and the ending being so full of hope. Nicely done, both of you.

    This poem is filled with emotions, and the flow is great. It's a fairly long poem and it took me a short time to read. It's very good.
