But a Shadow

I am but a shadow
I travel through this world as a formless being
Without any interaction
Without any disruption
And without any inspiration
I see and hear the world at hand
But the world doesn't acknowledge my existence 
I am passed over without even a second thought
I wish for an place to belong
I want to be here
More than a shadow
Someone to follow
And never more wallow
However I don't think it will ever be
For the end is at hand
And I'll lose someone I hold dear
A person who has helped me to belong
Even though I thought I wasn't anything special
I was still something important
So I'm counting the days
We go separate ways
And the friendship frays
For I am just a shadow
And to the dust I will be laid
