A nice metaphor. Hope you enjoy.","content":"Dark gray clouds spread across the sky  \nBlocking out the sun  \nAnd my path leads through a dark tunnel  \n  \nOne would often think it foolish  \nTo go down dark tunnels  \nEspecially one you've been down before  \n  \nBut I see a light at the end of this tunnel  \n  \nNo one else can see the light that I do  \nThey all tell me to turn back,  \nStay away from the tunnel.  \n  \nI know that I may regret my decision.  \nMany will call me a fool,  \nAnd they could be right.  \n  \nBut I'm drawn to that light  \nLike a moth to a flame  \nAnd I'm hoping I don't get burned.  \n  \nEven with hope, I'm afraid;  \nAnd in the face of fear and doubt,  \nAll one can do is try.  \n  \nI will go down this tunnel of darkness;  \nFor I see a light.  \n  \n~bhscorch1313\n\n[![Creative Commons License](http://i.creativecommons.org/l/by-nd/3.0/88x31.png)](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/3.0/)  \n\"Dark Tunnel\" by bhscorch is licensed under a [Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported License](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/3.0/).\n\n  \n  \n\n","series":{"name":"Poetry","previous":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/571474-poem-87-living-in-a-fantasy.json","next":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/605599-poem-89-the-wind.json"}}
