At the end of the tunnel

I can’t find my way out
Help me

It’s getting hard to breathe
I can’t find my way out

Help me
I want to see the light
I can’t find my way out

Help me
I want to cry out loud
I can’t find my way out

Help me

The prompt for day 18 was to write a poem that involves an urgent journey and an important message. This poem started as one about being born. It can just as well be about wanting to leave this life. Or about the longing to be at the other side, beyond the pearly gates.

    I probably shouldn’t have read this before writing my own!
    This is a very good poem Angela. And you’re right, it could be any of these journeys, and so many more!

        I’m afraid I’ll have to be very serious right now, lots of business paperwork to do. Granted, it should have been done a few weeks ago… procrastination, you said? 😉
        I have an idea already of what I may write, if I find the time and/or energy. I have to admit, I’m feeling quite tired right now. No, I won’t take a nap, I’ll do at least part pf the paperwork first! :-p
