the end of my tunnel</image:title><image:caption>By now, we have all heard of life is hard, take the road less travelled, there is a light at the end of every tunnel.
Nobody hands us bandages before they push out in to the thrusting sea.  No heads up about the spiteful monsters that once slept under your bed will not only trip you to the ground but shall take their sweet time to amputate both your legs no matter how much will and ambition you have.
Nobody enlightens you on lack of just one shoulder to lean on leave alone two where warmth can be generated during this lonesome journey to this uncertain future which nobody was ever promised. you must clench to the little hope that will keep you going even when all is lost.
Nobody reminds you that in some situations you should take a step back, lay low, relax, take direction which is unorthodox in the eyes of many who do not share your vision and can only foresee roadblocks befall your path. That sometimes you must flee in to your own little cocoon reflex and rejuvenate, be birthed again with eyes wide open with darker stronger skin.
Nobody mentions that this journey is only a race against yourself and not against the world or with the world,
That everybody has their own battle worlds apart from your battle,
That everybody has a secret weapon that gets them ahead each time,
That nothing is free no matter its zero Shilling Value that damaged your pocket,
That scarce wrong deeds are forever engraved in people’s hearts unlike the immeasurable good deeds selflessly extended
That paths cross lifetimes apart when you least expect them to.
