Emptiness and The light.

Pushing oneself to achieve a goal and then realizing that it's not worth it.

I'm running.
Running, out of breath,
my muscles hurt, I can feel the sweat running down my face
but I know that I can't stop.It's only a matter of time
and then I'll be free.
I reach out to touch the light, it's still far away and
as i get closer the light gets brighter.

With all that I have left in me, I close my eyes
and I will myself to run faster.I tell myself
that it's now or never.
I'm near the light and I reach for it,
I can feel it's warmth in my hand and I try to stop but I can't..
I just keep running till the warmth engulfs me
and I finally slow down and when I open my eyes,
there's nothing around me.

Just emptiness.
Is this what i wanted?
