The Tunnel

We have all faced the 'Tunnel', where there is only one way in and just one way out. I am talking about a tunnel that shuts its entry once you are in. The only way out is to pave your way through the darkness and look for light.
I kept telling you, I am scared of the tunnel; don't push me in; I won't make it. I am not brave enough to find my way out. Its dark and suffocating here. I feel helpless. I wish I could break myself free and get out of here, but the entrance is closed. I was a free spirit, in the light. I did not want to get attached, cause I knew I had to face the tunnel.
Don't let me die in here. You can stretch your hand and pull me out. Will you?

    I wanted to...but somehow I kept searching for your hand and by the time I found it...I was inside the tunnel too..:(
    And...then we started walking hand in hand paving our way through...moving towards the light!!(correct me if I am wrong ;) )
    We are still walking...but phew! We made it out of the tunnel!!! And this place where we are now...feels like heaven!
    Bright shiny Sun...Sweet balmy Breeze...Clear blue Sky...no need to hide...:)

    @sayan, there are actually some easy ways to make it out of the tunnel, one is what Priyanka said, converting yours into a divine journey. The other one is just a simple wish, that you wish to break free of the tunnel, don't think about the walls buddy, they are just virtual and manmade.

    The fear of succeeding keeps us away from success.
    Keep moving, you are not dead till u die.

    Be brave try to feel the romance of darkness. Darkness is really beautiful as it concentrates the shades of light within it. How can you say darkness is scaring when you and me both are dark? We are really Beautiful......
