at the end of the tunnel

you try to avoid

allowing the void

to inflate with more vacancy

or escalate your agony,

there’s a slight hesitancy

to destroy the plight of stagnancy

of your bittersweet journey,

but you know what’s healthy,

don’t try to be stealthy,

embrace electricity

and ignition of honesty,

you think of hope longingly

but when it’s in your reach,

you cling on like a leech

your string is long underneath,

despite your chattering teeth

and your belief of your breach,

there’s more to learn and more to teach,

so prove to others your gift of speech

if you just keeping trying

and you just keep climbing,

with no worry for timing,

maybe you will stop crying

and maybe you will stop lying

when you tell others that you feel okay,

and it’ll be true ‘cause you healed today.
