I found this poem online and it really intrigued me, I can't fully get the meaning but I have an idea, to all you poetry lovers, mind giving me a hand to what exactly this person is saying. Also I don't have the name or that author sorry.

All my life I have been walking in a deep dark tunnel
Afraid of what was standing at the end

I felt alone chilled and scared
In this tunnel I had not one friend

But I felt to move on
I must walk and see

What danger gave me goose bumps
And every night, haunted me

Diffident and timorous I kept walking
Just walking and walking 'till my heart beat more

My palms were sweaty and my cheeks were tearstained
I wasn't sure of how much of this I could endure

Until finally I came face to face
To my biggest fear

Which to my shock and perplexity Was a mirror
