One way past,
One way through,
One way to learn,
Through the door.
The black door.

I must try,
I must hope,
For through effort,
Comes a light,
A bright light,
From my soul.

There's no light,
No hope,
No effort,
Nor will there be triumph.
There's just darkness.

Darkness and fear.
And a single black box.

Blackness swallows,
Fear clutches.
The last light winks out.

This isn't a tunnel.
It's a box.
A box of fear.
And I surrender.
