This is not really a poem…more feelings of what it is kind of like living with D.I.D… I’m struggling at the minute at being anywhere and some alters seem to be leaking more into me and…well I dunno, it’s hard to explain. I know some people have noticed this… I was annoyed slightly because some people seem to think living with alters is like how they have characters for their books in their heads… or the fact they like many different things depending on their mood…which I can understand the comparison, but you are very wrong…also the fact that I am a writer and use some of my alters names in my novel they seem to think they are right- I use their names because it is the only way I can gain concentration to look and actually see something in reality long enough to write something!
You can create anything between the empty space
within the restraints of your mind
but, can you make it so real that you truly feel it?
feel through the others chest?
feel their heat pumping as if it were your own?
to the very point when the pulse you feel
under your fingers is not your own
until you can feel their tears like rain
pouring down the inner sides, inside your brain
a grasp so tightly it embraces your soul
so no one else can ever see it
frightened that you no longer even possess it
your eyes are stolen so you just see blank paintings
but, inward there is a whole other world
and outside, when they break
they explode so loud it trembles your head
blackness, and you’ve forgotten everything that happened
nothing that came from your lips
was something you’ve said
switching so immense it tears down your life
because the migraines are so intense
but your eyes are still empty shells
conflicting cause they are full to the brim inside
with the voices whistling around
and you don’t recognize your own face
especially as you refer to yourself by another name
your body don’t match the ones in your head
so like everything else, you erase it out
everything you feel is pointless
you know this, a pathetic trait
all your writings don’t seem to make sense
some even written with another hand
there is no will to want to survive past the chaos
because ending it will at least gain some control
but you’re not just killing one person
with the cut off point- you will kill them all
and that also is too much to bear
so you are stuck driven in reverse
inside a land more real, with nothing on the outside
only a pantomime of something you can’t do
but can never stand to leave behind
