The World from the Shadowlands

i\'m not seeking an end to this sorrow, 

because i feel that feeling as sad, 

broken, remorseful as i am 

might propel me 

to doing something 

about changing my existence 

for the better, not temporarily, 

 

but permanently. 

i want this summer 

to be the summer 

whereby i effectuate this change, 

effectively return to the world 

from the shadowlands 

in which i\'ve existed for so long.
