I'm lost in this world, with nowhere to go

Fading Away

I can feel myself sliding away, fading away.

I'm fraying like a whisper on the breeze.

My spirit is tired, and my heart is heavy and slow,

I'm lost in this world, with nowhere to go.

Colors surrounding me are losing their vibrancy.

The sky above is a dreary, lifeless gray,

Reflecting the emptiness I feel every day as

Everything blurs and fades from view.

Recollections of joy, love, and light

Are vanishing quickly, like lights in the night,

Leaving me adrift in a sea of sadness,

Unsure how to face a new tomorrow.

The world around me moves at breakneck speed,

While I feel stuck in an interminable halt,

Each day a battle to find a rationale,

To keep moving and breathing.

The shadows lengthen as the light dims.

As I battle to keep what I have within me,

However, the darkness appears to be winning.

I can feel me spinning.

I try to cling on to hope, faith,

And recollections of a happier time,

But the weight of my anguish, my loss,

Seems to drown out all else at any cost.

As a result, I continue to drift away.

Day by day, like a flame dying out,

Until there is nothing left of me to hold on to,

And the night has swallowed me, cold and ancient.

But I know that even in the midst of this darkness,

There is a glimmer of hope, a spark of kindness,

A way to find my way back to the light,

And to keep living, keep fighting.

So I'll keep pushing, keep holding on,

To the memory of what once shone,

And find my way through the fading,

To a new dawn worth welcoming.
