Is it Dissociation or Distraction

Either way, it's a healed girl summer now!

By Nikki B.Published 3 years ago 1 min read

Dissociating to escape reality became too mundane,

I realized something profoundly had to change

Started isolating, and my voice immediately became the LOUDEST!

Talking negatively about oneself, certainly don't make you feel the proudest

Realizing when the mind demons would start slithering back in

Adulting has be more figure-outable, let's just dive in

Consciously choosing to create that change

Trying not to feel chaotically deranged

Intentionally deciding to slay those confined demons

Owning them, so I can banish that dark shadow

Nurturing and reclaiming my light within, finally seeing it AGLOW!
