Poem Title:
Poem
Compartmentalization, a labyrinth of the mind, Dissociation, a dance with fragments blind, Fragmentation, where sanity threads unwind, Within this mental content, secrets we find In the depths of the psyche, a world untold Dissociative identities, stories unfold, The heart weighs heavy with stitches torn, Tender scars hemorrhaged; love core is worn. Dangling damage, as shattered glass, gleams Reflecting on the chaos, the pain, and the screams, The cerebral cortex fires, a bull eye strike fatally, Instinct walks the line, logic is useless, and hastily Shattered visions, a maze within the soul, Where reality ends and illusions control, Lost in the labyrinth, searching for the light, Betrayed by the mind deceptive might. Within this maze of mental content The battle to reconnect and prevent Childhood trauma, the catalyst of this plight, A shattered sense of self-taking flight. Each compartment holds a piece of the truth. Yet the puzzle remains incomplete, uncouth, A jigsaw of memories, scattered and torn, A puzzle of identities, tattered and worn. Fragments of memories are scattered and lost As the mind tries to bear the unbearable cost Memories encoded and stored deep within But retrieval becomes a battle to begin. Fragments of life scattered such debris, A shattered mirror, reflecting what used to be, The mind labyrinth, a maze of confusion, A battle within, a constant intrusion But amidst the chaos, a speck of hope A chance to mend the pieces, to learn to cope, To embrace the fractures and find strength within, To embrace the scars and let the healing begin. Within broken visions, a spark of resilience resides. A spirit that refuses to accept any abides. By compartmentalization and dissociation, by fragmentation and mental isolation. The cerebral cortex may fire, but the mind will rise. And rationality, once blasted, will find its prize. Instinct will gracefully dance with grace. As the shattered visions find their rightful place. So let us navigate this maze of the mind. With compassion and understanding, we'll find Behind the shattered glass and fractured dreams, Lies a resilience that utterly gleams.
