I fade

You ask if I’m still there

My body is

But my head is distant

Away in my own world



I’m empty

I can see myself

As I look down from up above

It’s like I’m not there

Now there’s no love

I’m empty

No feelings

No thoughts

No life

So empty



I hear voices

But it’s not yours

It’s in my head

Thoughts that cannot be read

No one can hear them

No one but me

Talking to me

Like you should be



They whisper in my ears

They shout in my brain

They remind me of the memories

They remind me of the pain



I see nothing

Just black or white

Or anything in between

But just one colour

Surrounding me



I flicker my eyes

Nothing changes

I panic

Try to fight the tears

My fears

Overcome my sanity

And make it reality



I shake

You hold me tight

It doesn’t stop

I cannot stop

It’s taking over me

I wish it would stop

Wish it would stop



I can’t breathe

Help me

I can’t breathe

Can’t you see?

I’m scared

I’m gona die

You just gona sit here

And watch me die

As the darkness suffocates me

As the pain chokes me

As it all kills me



The worst thing is

You look at me like I’m crazy

I’m not

Trust me

This is reality

I’m suffering in silence

Whilst you just sit there

As I fight for air

Battle for stillness

Fight for sight

Struggle for sound

Trying to find my way

Back into the real world

Back to you
