Fading Away

Suzanne Mondoux · 17 March 2020

Where was I all this time during the confines of such a life Was I too busy hiding away or did I see something else Everyone in the crowd can see each but me I’m the only one in the room amongst so many voices

It feels I’m fading away amongst the shadows all around me I see glimmers me in the mirror and imagine someone is looking at me Are they looking my way at me, can they see me Am I fading away from the life I’ve created for something new

I can still smell my favourite perfume, is it still me When I look down at my feet I’m wearing my favourite red shoes Is it still me or am I like a butterfly fading away into something new Fading away from the past into the present day

Fading away into the present day, what an extraordinary place to fade into I’m light on my feet in my red shoes and I dance around a new crowd I see smiles looking at me, it’s me they see Fading away from out of the fog into the sun I let others see me

I go on into this new light and fading away from the opinions of others I’m fading away from all those fingers pointing at me saying how wrong I was, And how hard it will be Taking all the best of my old life into the new

I’m fading away towards the rainbow ahead of me It’s me I see, the me I recognise I almost lost her forever fading away into a crowd I didn’t know Fading away is the best thing I’ve done for my soul

Fading away to find my way Fading away to stay true to myself Fading away to meet me all over again Fading away realizing and living my dreams
