A Mere Shadow

The world is a mere shadow
a shadow of things that will never be
a shadow of those things
that will never leave me
stuck in my brain and sure to stay
the world a mere shadow in ones self
so out of reach
wanting to be loved is all i need
but can someone love me just for me
can i let go of the unimportant
and let the sun shine through the shadows of darkness
that dwell inside myself
and shed light upon my broken heart
for i can only try
