The World From the Shadowlands

I'm not seeking an end to this, 
Because I feel that feeling as sad, 
Broken and 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 
Where I've existed for so long.

(originally written - with recent slight edits - straight from the heart as diary notes, about a year ago in the spring of 2014, and so reflecting a state of mind I don't happen to be in at the present time, thank goodness I might add.)
