"The Light at the End of the Tunnel Is Just Me"

I’ve seen the tunnel,
The dark stretch of nothing
Where every step I take is a circle,
And every thought I have is dead before it breathes.
I thought I was searching for the light—
That fabled glow at the end,
But it’s always been me,
Casting shadows on myself.

What is this light?
It’s a lie, a trick,
A mirror hung in the void to make me think
There’s something worth walking towards.
But the joke’s on me—
I am the light
I’ve been running from,
Chasing myself in the dark,
Blinding myself with my own reflection.

There’s no tunnel,
Just a path I invented
To feel like I’m getting somewhere.
And now, I stand still—
Because I’ve finally realized:
The tunnel, the light,
It’s all me.
And I’m tired of running in circles
To escape myself.​

The tags don't seem to be working for me. I once read on .org that it was because if you tagged more than a fixed amount of people, they wouldn't see it. But I don't know how it works here though.

It’s unlimited here. Either it’s your own preferences or the mentions aren’t formatted correctly.

What's the meaning behind this?

There is no meaning.

 

[Myst]

There is no meaning.

So the concept of there being a tunnel has no meaning? what about you being the light? or was this another one of your trips.

"The tunnel exists because I need it to, and I am the light because I have no choice; it’s the illusion of movement that keeps me still."

Why do you need the tunnel to exist?
