Fading to Nothing

I am not the person you see
this life isn’t mine
its just the one I’m living.

Who am I?

No mirror can show
a true reflection.

A whisper of my presence
lost in a world that isn’t mine.

I scream
and there is only silence.

How can you look
into me
and not see me
just beneath the surface.

This isn’t me
fading to nothing.

Or is it?
