A line that can never be crossed.

A goal that can never be reached.

The adage "So close and yet so far" really hits the mark.

The tunnel just doesn't seem to end. Not even a glimpse of light seen.

Is it that unreachable? That unattainable?

Endless days of striving to achieve it.

Are all my efforts for naught?

I labor, toil, and struggle with no assurance of ever reaching it.

There is no gain for me here other than temporary happiness.

Should I surrender and raise the white flag in this pointless endeavor?

Or this ought to compel me - to drive irresistibly 'till every drop of blood is dried in me?

Time will soon tell.
