Depersonalize

This is something I wrote a year ago when I was dissociating. It makes me sad to read it.

I can feel my face

But it doesn't feel like mine

My head fell out of place

And landed in the wrong time

It's screwed on way too loose

My life's amongst the stars

I keep up my human ruse

But in the dark it doesn't get me far

And if you want to know how I feel

If you want to see what they steal

All you must do is close your eyes

And if it becomes too much to deal

If I remember I'm not real

Welcome to my depersonalize

I can feel my heart

Bound tight in the chest of a corpse

My limbs are all coming apart

My soul's protesting with a force

My body is perturbed by

The void with which I see

Everything's floating awry

Tethered to sorrow by gravity

This is sad to read. Losing our own identity and feeling out of it or not ourselves can be scary. It probably made you feel like you'd never find yourself again. I certainly hope you have now.

A good poem with good expression.

*"It's screwed on way too lose"
I guess you know that's a forced rhyme with the word ruse?

Oh crap, that was a spelling error. Thank you for pointing that out! It's still going to be a forced rhyme once I correct it, but I feel like this poem deserves to be a bit wrong with the flow.
I will admit that I'm still working on getting myself together, but at least I know now that where I am in life is perfectly okay. Thank you again (:
