Life Is Not a Tunnel

Certainly I'm being melodramatic.

No one should bat an eye.

I'll let this feeling claw me up inside,

But it's easier than letting them in.

I can't get help,

I can't find my way.

The light is just too dim,

Too far away.

Why would I need a light?

I always preferred the dark.

So why is this dark laced with pain,

Fear that is ripping me apart?

This is not a tunnel,

This is life.

There is no light,

Only the dark.

Why can't people see that?
Maybe it's just too dark

And they need to avoid the truth.

Maybe the lies are light,

And the only way we feel okay

Is to be drowning in our lies.

Author's Note

I don't know what I'm writing, I just feel like I can't stop.

This resonates with me on many levels. Good job! You needn't stop, let it out. That's the only way the feeling goes away. :)
