"fade"

To think...
I'm fading to the background
Of my own story

I'm becoming a side character
A minor part
A foil

In the story that roots me to the soil of the earth

I'm disappearing
Disappointing

Watching as valiant heroes swoop in and save the damsel

Nevermind the fact that I am in distress

Ignoring the chaos of my mind
Ignoring my demons and monsters

All I dare do,
Is cheer for the new lead;
For the hero they need.

The hero I need.
Who notices not
That my war is not done being fought.

I'm fading away
From the spotlight
From the narrative

From the life that was once my own.
