Fading

My mind is always filled

with insecurities

And at times it still feels

Like I can’t seem to breath

Still I surround myself with people

Who think that I’m okay

But on the inside

I’m slowly fading away

How will I ever be okay?

How can I ever stop this pain inside of me

If I keep hiding it away

From those who care the most about me

I keep putting up a facade

Of a happy life that I am living

When will this rain leave me

How will they ever see that this is not me

I’m fading

The truth is

I’m broken

Oh, I leave so many things

unspoken

I keep fighting my demons

On my own

While the world admires my smile

How will I ever be okay?

How can I ever stop this pain inside of me

If I keep hiding it away

From those who care the most about me

I keep putting up a facade

Of a happy life that I am living

When will this rain leave me

How will they ever see that this is not me

This is not me…

I’m fading
