I thought,
I really did,
That at some point
The struggle would end —
Or at least get easier.
But as I peel away
Another layer of the onion
I find an even deeper hole,
An even darker room.
I am getting tired.
I want my prize,
Not another challenge.
I want to finally be in the light,
Not more darkness.
