Depersonalization
Inside four walls I currently reside
Within this house I continue to hide
Hurt lurks beyond these bounds
Crumbs of ash in piles and mounds
A cold fire burns deep
This amber glow will keep
Fearless as I may be
This outside world I can not see
For pain has been my enemy
The outside reminds me of the memory
For many nights I toss and turn where I lay
This memory hurts in a transparent way
Sunshine is but a remembrance of youth
I hide away like a midnight sleuth
Dimmer and dimmer is this light
It only gets brighter during the night
Where one can think without sound
And think what is really all around
Out of this world I feel
Is everything I touch real?
I see but am still blind
I am out of body, but still in mind
