The light at the end of the tunnel

Samantha Ledesma 1997

Each move up, brought back down
Heavy weights deteriorate these bones
Soul rise & call home
Feeling it all, in the dark once more
Paved paths crossing through the storm
With fantasies of relieved stakes
Dim light arises
Push further push further, yet no brighter
Left with pity & no self disclosure
Quiet days speak further
Through these veins breaths truth
The end is very soon
