A Ghost In Life Can Only Fade Away

It’s so hopeless. 
I try so hard to be strong, because I know the people around me need somebody to be.
But how much stronger can I be when I carry the weight of the world on my shoulders. 
Peace is like a foreign concept to me. 
I’ve had fleeting moments of happiness, but without fail, are always followed by a storm of pain and suffering. 
When does it end? 
When do I get to cry on someone's shoulder? 
When will someone notice my pain without having to tell them? 
Hopelessness doesn’t even describe what I am feeling. 
I wake up in excruciating pain every morning and yet it goes unrecognized. 
You can’t see my pain.
Most of the time I can’t decide if it’s real or fake.
But it’s there.
What I wouldn’t give for someone to acknowledge my presence. 
Acknowledge a statement I made or a simple good morning back. 
Yet, without fail, my words flow through the earth like a wandering ghost, never 
to be seen or heard from again.
So, tell me, if I am to be a ghost while alive...


What would happen if I were to truly fade away?
