The road only has a bend
though the journey is long
what I thought darkness forever,
is just a tunnel oblong.
Unlike the highway to the hell
which plays in my car, the song
I can slightly see the sunlight
now, nothing seems wrong.
This pitch black tunnel
no matter how much I prolong
I have to pass it with a smile
I must stay strong.
I heard if I go on with life
My people will come along
So, the sun’s where I’ll go now
The sky is where I belong.
[NaPoWriMo 2014 poem 17]
