I dont know if I can do this anymore. I'm crawling on my hands and knees. I know it's almost over, I can see the end, but I'm afraid I won't make it out alive. I can taste the blood in my mouth and the
voices telling me to quit that I won't win. The darkness is slowly taking over me, destroying me. I wanted to live in the dark to show everyone that I'm strong, but everybody needs a little bit of light.
No one has ever survived without the light of love and friendship. I thought living in the dark would make me strong, but really, it's killing me. It's like cyanide. You can take as much as you
can every day, but you'll never be safe from its effects. I thought I could live on darkness, survive on it, and thrive on it, but it's just not possible. Not even the darkest souls can swallow the dark
whole without choking on it. I should've realized it couldn't be done a long time ago when I saw no one else in the tunnel. I knew from the start that it would be a long, painful journey, but I
I didn't think it would be this hard. I haven't felt the warmth of light in years. Everything is so cold and dark, dead and decayed. I've lived every day in fear, waiting for someone to show me the way
but no one ever came. I had to befriend the dark and hold on to it no matter how much it hurt. no matter how much pain it put me through, even if it pushed me to the brink of death, I had to hold on to
it to survive. As I draw closer to the end, I can see the light, but I fear it is too late. I fear I may finally succumb to the darkness and die. But I mustn't. I must not give into the dark. I've made it this
far, and I can make it out alive.
