Fading Away

I look in the mirror and I can still see the one-dimensional persona
desperately buried underneath all the layers of make-up.

It still shines through.

I'm not sure how this happened?
A while ago I lost myself in all my lies. I have been retracing my
steps ever since.

And now the emptiness of my soul makes it impossible to write anything
meaningful. And my weak, trembling voice doesn't always have something
to say.

I guess my major fear now is fading away.
