Dismal Existence

The shadow stands on its own
Joined by none, always alone
A shadow as dark as the night
Its lifetime spent out of sight

Searching for one in this eternal night
Searching for one to make its future bright
Searching for one to guide it from here
Searching for one, yet none appear

Waiting for the time to arrive
When one will make it feel alive
For now, it is hollow, and unfeeling
Waiting for one to give its life a meaning

For so long its been left behind
By a world that's so unkind
Everyday it lives in dismay
With so many pressures on its mind

Searching for one to make it whole
Searching for one to fill the role
Searching for one with a love to share
Searching for one, still none appear

This shadows story is one I know well
For this shadow is my own living hell
It's a curse that I am doomed to bare
A bane of isolation and despair

For too long I've been left behind
Companionship I cannot find
Every night, I have to fight
The thoughts of suicide in my mind
