Shadows and Choices

The shadows i cast always remain,
No matter how i change I'm always the same.
A spec of goodness, in a pit full of flaws.
As one disappears, another one spawns.

I work on whats wrong, and try to make myself strong,
But the more i am the less i become.

I need to believe, at least in myself,
This life seems to have me stuck on material wealth.
They made it so hard to see more than what eye see,
Like the depth of a stranger, and beauty in all that be.
