My best friends poems.

fading away

im watching myself fade away
i can't help but stare in the mirror and wonder who is staring back at me
that person who has no life in their eyes
no color to their skin
and simply doesn't care
that person isn't me
or at least it wasn't
until it became me
i watch as everyone stands idely by as they see the life draining from the shallow shell of the person i once was staring back at them
everyone to scared to move or say anything in fear that the fragile being standing in front of them would simply crumble to dust
maybe it's okay though
maybe everyone hated the old me, the person who was always smiley, always asked how everyone was, who was happy, full of life and-
annoying.
I was annoying right? you wanted me to change?
well congrats, you got your wish
I changed and now we are all watching the lifeless body continue on with life as if nothing ever happened
when everyone knows
I faded away.
