A shadow is all I will ever be,
I will never stand out,
and no one will ever notice me.
I am a shadow among a world of darkness,
almost non-existent but yet still there,
my life is full of neglect and despair.
I wonder every day,
Will I ever mean anything to the ones I love?
Will that love ever be returned?
If I were to disappear,
would they even notice?
I am a mute man,
shouting at the world to hear my cries for help.
I am a shadow.
