Locked In

Written for Sue & Gerry’s Weekly Prompts
Weekend Challenge using the word ‘tunnel’.
Here’s where the prompt took me.

I got so caught up chasing what I wanted,
that I couldn’t see a thing on either side,
the rest of life just faded, dim and haunted,
tunnel-blind and taking it in stride.

Funny how you miss the stuff that matters,
so zeroed in you can’t see what’s right there,
till everything around you breaks and scatters
and you come up gasping for some air.
