Okay, I know that I need to update other things, but I'm still trying to figure those out. So, since I wanted to write something, I'm writing this! I decided to call it 'Through The Tunnel' since that sounds cool. I was reading something that said 'through the tunnel', and I came up with this idea! So, time to start! It also will be a chapter story since I figured out a fairly decent storyline. So, to my new story!
Ikuto's POV
...
The tunnel... The tunnel is a dark and dreary place to abide in. People cannot choose whether or not they live there; there is no choice. Those in it feel only despair and loneliness. The place is filled with negative emotions. There's no hope or light in such a place. No one with such things can enter, leaving those already there stuck.
Only a handful of those that were sucked into this horrendous place have escaped alive, and the others were not so lucky. Those that didn't either die before they have a chance or force themselves to selfishly end their own pain and suffering.
Some of those in the tunnel put up an act. They pretend that they aren't in there and that everything is alright, but it's not. People fall for it. They believe that their friend or family member is okay, but they never realize how bad everything is until it's too late.
Some may say that no such place as the tunnel exists, but I know better than those optomistic fools. Why, you may ask? It's because I am in the tunnel...
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
Running and running, day and night... That's what my life consists of. I'm trying to make my way through the tunnel and out the other side, but I've had no success ever since the beginning of my journey. I've never once caught a glimpse of the end no matter how hard or fast I run.
I'm beginning to lose hope... Will I ever reach the end of the tunnel?
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
Rushing and running,
Into the dark.
Racing, then falling,
In the old park.
Will I escape,
This tunnel I'm in?
Will I awake,
To see the light again?
The black has surrounded me,
Pulling me into despair.
'Is there a key, maybe?'
I wonder in there?
This dark, dark tunnel,
It leads me astray.
Running and racing,
For there's no other way.
Can I escape?
Is it too late?
Nobody knows...
Except for the shadows.

Okay, so I wrote that poem myself and I'm pretty happy with it, but I know I need to practice if I want to get better. I'll try to maybe write more poems if you guys want me to! I enjoy it, but I need practice. My brother is super amazing at writing poems and I'm hoping to get some tips from him! I hope that you all like this! Please review! Also, he did help with one line of the poem. You'll find out Ikuto's story, and Amu's too, in future chapters! I've worked on this chapter for a few months and pondering the ideas and possibilities, and I basically have everything figured out. :)
Also, updates will take a while for this story because I want everything I write to have a purpose in the story...
Also, being in the tunnel basically equals being depressed... So Ikuto is depressed.
Finally, I will not be updating this until I finish one of my other stories first. I don't think I can handle three stories, especially since I can't even update now for two... I just decided to post this since my computer has been messed up, and I'm worried about losing it. Plus, it's only an introduction.
