This is what dissociation/derealization/depersonalization feels like
I am standing there, upright.
For those to see, present.
My eyes are open wide.
But time and world are bent.
My eyes are not outside.
Time doesn't move, inside
Where who I am is sent
And nothing looks quite right
For every second spent
Triples my internal fright
Because everything seems so unreal
And I try so hard, but cannot deal
With a room that is a room no more
Please come closer, help me deal
Make me better, help me heal.
Because I am frightened to the core.
I AM NOT HERE
I am standing there, upright.
For those to see, present.
My eyes are open wide.
But time and world are bent.
My eyes are not outside.
Time doesn't move, inside
Where who I am is sent
And nothing looks quite right
For every second spent
Triples my internal fright
Because everything seems so unreal
And I try so hard, but cannot deal
With a room that is a room no more
Please come closer, help me deal
Make me better, help me heal.
Because I am frightened to the core.
