New Beginnings

Should i say new beginnings

My life as a new 5th year medical student
no longer naive and curious
rather, worn out and defeated
sees a tunnel through the longest years of wandering

this tunnel
seems to stretch endlessly
its routes changing relentlessly
mocking those who enter,
and mocking those who exit it,
even vigorously.

"They think they're going to get a good life after this."
Its tone buttered generously with disgust.

They say exiting the tunnel is only the beginning to more awful realities.

Should i believe in them?
Or should i muster the leftover seed of hope and courage.
Brave it through.
There's no turning back now.

After all,
no one can tell for sure,
which way this unforgiving tunnel will lead you to.
Might be a box of adventures.

At least, I hope so.



*P.s
Start of year 5 medical school.
Time to show the juniors who's boss in the house
when i still can.
