When I dissociate

When I dissociate

I become an empty void of my human self

Without a reality

Without imagination

Without a name

Without a voice

 

When I dissociate

I become a main character

Of my own biography

That was never played in cinemas

Never watched by my audiences

But played in a state of distress

 

When I dissociate

I become a foreigner in a new country

With a new identity to integrate

Learning the language to communicate

Learning its customs and values

To feel a sense of belonging

 

When I dissociate

I’m stranded in a misty fog

My eyes become the fog light

To drift through the grey blinding clouds

Contrasting to darkness

Like a hole I cannot climb out of

 

When I dissociate

I hallucinate in a world

Where people are objects

No name

No value

Roaming around like soulless zombies

 

When I dissociate

My alters come to life

All have their own unique personalities

Deciding on who I should become

To get me through the stressful day
