The end of the tunnel


You say I should keep running

And the end shall appear

But I have run for miles

And I am still here

I’m like a bird stuck in a cage

Who shall fly for hours but

Will get nowhere

Still stuck in the prison-like cell

That I grudgingly call home

There is no way out

You tell me I can leave

But I go in a circle

I can't leave this place

But still, I will keep

On

Running
