Through the Tunnel
Selected by CWAIka
Description

I like to think of life as one giant, maze-like tunnel. This tunnel is super dark, and so as a "young 'un" I am still feeling my way around the tunnel with no light to speak of. Sometimes I find a passageway and am able to go deeper into this tunnel, but so far my journey has mostly consisted of me hitting my head or slipping on some wet rocks. This notebook will contain poems that help me along this journey. Some of these poems tell me where to go. Some poems just put a smile on my face when I've hit a dead end and feel like I will never be able to move forward again.
