Tunnel

I see the light

but cannot reach it.

I see the green pasture

but cannot smell it.

I feel the freedom

but cannot unlock the door.

I want to be me again

but I fail to recognize who I am.

You have helped me

but I cannot feel any success.

You hold out hope for me

but I am slowly failing.

Help me now

so I can touch the light

and

smell the pasture.
