Fading Away

A stark portrayal of depressions weight the internal war unseen by others and the faint persistent voice that chooses to stay

I sat in a room that felt too small The walls were closing I felt nothing at all The world kept spinning but I stood still Trapped inside the silence trapped inside my will

I saw my reflection but I wasnt there Just a shadow in the empty air No one noticed no one cared I could scream but they wouldnt hear

Would they miss me if I disappeared Would they cry if I was no longer here I was tired I was breaking Every thought kept suffocating ខ្ញុំចង់ចាកចេញពីទុក្ខសោកទាំងឡាយ I thought about leaving

I was fading fading away Like a ghost lost in the grey A voice inside said just let go But another whispered no hold on I was breaking drowning inside No one saw the war in my mind I was fading fading away But something told me stay

I wrote my pain in lines unseen On pages torn from silent screams No one knew the war I fought Every breath felt like a battle lost

I thought about the final step If I let go would they forget Would my name fade into dust Did I matter was I enough

Would they miss me if I disappeared Would they cry if I was no longer here I was tired I was breaking Every thought kept suffocating ខ្ញុំចង់ចាកចេញពីទុក្ខសោកទាំងឡាយ I thought about leaving

I was fading fading away Like a ghost lost in the grey A voice inside said just let go But another whispered no hold on I was breaking drowning inside No one saw the war in my mind I was fading fading away But something told me stay

And in the silence I heard my breath Still alive not gone yet Maybe pain is just a storm And after rain the sun is born I dont know why I stayed that night Why I fought why I survived But maybe somewhere down the line Ill find the reason Im still alive ខ្ញុំនៅតែរស់នៅ Im still alive

I was fading fading away Like a ghost lost in the grey But something told me stay
