Fading into Silence

In the silence of my mind, where shadows play,

I search for a mirror, hoping to find my way.

I wear a thousand faces, yet feel so low,

Trying to find the light, in a world full of woe.

I’m not perfect, just a whisper in the crowd,

Trying to break free, but I can’t say it loud.

Doubt drips like rain, on this tired heart,

Fighting for a place, but I feel torn apart.

They tell me I’m worthy, like they believe it too,

But every time I stumble, I lose sight of the truth.

Hiding underneath layers, of self-made shame,

Wondering if peace will ever feel the same.

But what if I can’t feel, what they say is real?

Like I’m running in circles, forever to conceal.

I crave the warmth of love, but it slips right through,

A ghost of who I am, lost in shades of blue.

I change like the seasons, shedding leaves of my past,

Seeking validation, but it never seems to last.

A nobody in a world, where they shine so bright,

I wish I could call love, my guiding light.

The weight of disappointment, it’s a heavy load,

Building walls around me, as I walk this road.

But deep in the silence, I hear a distant song,

Is there hope for a heart that feels so wrong?

But what if I can’t feel, what they say is real?

Out here in the darkness, it’s hard to break the seal.

Yearning for connection, but it’s nowhere to be found,

A whisper in the void, I’m just spinning round.

It’s a battle within, where emotions collide,

Holding on to sorrow, knowing there’s nowhere to hide.

I’ve had enough of pretending, it’s time to let go,

Become empty and hollow, where no feelings flow.

So I’ll fade into silence, let the shadows take me,

In this world full of faces, I just want to be free.

No more chasing love, no more dreams that end,

Just a quiet existence, where my heart can mend.
