I have nothing to disappoint you with.
No free will or independence.
I can not run, there is no path for me to cross.
No refuge I know of.
I have books that tell of walks on water
But I am me, mere mortal.
I can not touch the sun's rays.
No matter how they reach for me,
I live in shadows.

This is great. I really loved reading through this,especially the lines, "No matter how they reach for me / I live in shadows".
Well done for this.
