The Very Long Tunnel

The Very Long Tunnel

I'm alone
And tired
So tired
I can't go much farther
I need to turn back.

But I'm afraid
I'm afraid to turn back
And afraid to go on
I'm so afraid my legs will give out.

I keep walking
But it hurts
It hurts so bad
The farther I walk the worse the pain gets
Increasing with every step
Shooting up my legs.

I'm not getting anywhere
But I keep walking
So hard to keep walking
Why do I keep walking?

Slower and slower
In more and more pain
Fighting harder
But what's the point if no ones here to walk with me
And no one's waiting on the other side?

Maybe someone will help me somewhere along the way
Maybe I'll find someone if I just keep walking
Or maybe there's no one
And I'll just keep walking alone
Getting myself lost...

Why don't I just stop?
And take a break?
Because there are no breaks.
If I stop now I will never walk again.
Even still.
What's so great about walking if it only causes pain
It only breaks me down
I can't go forever anyway
Sooner or later I have to stop walking
So why draw it out any longer than I have to?
No one is here
No one ever was
So why don't I just stop?
I mean, right?
Wouldn't you stop?
Wouldn't you?
Because the longer I walk the more I ache

I- I mean if it were you
If you were me
What would you do?
If I stop walking..
You won't hate me will you?
Please don't hate me
Will you think I'm weak?
Will you think that I'm wrong?
Will you call me pathetic?
Selfish?
Disgusting?
Or will you understand?
I mean, they have to understand right?
They have to
How could they not?

The thing is...
There's no tunnel.
I made it up.

There's only life
And my soul hurts
I'm so sorry
Please don't hate me
I just- I can't take another step
