MALADAPTIVE DAYDREAMING
When an escape route becomes an addiction
I spend my days wandering
between fantasy and reality.
'maladaptive daydreaming'.
The scientists lurking about on
google, says, in pages, and wikipedia,
that I suffer from Avoidant Personality Disorder.
They call it addictive, this floating in between.
But leave me no suggestions,
nothing to fill the gaping hole daydreams fill,
nothing to accompany me, hold me back
from the life of death waiting to embrace me.
I long to see one of them, ask them
what I should do when tears threaten to fall,
when depression comes whispering, when
pain comes with its loving arms to hug my soul.
I spend my days longing to tell someone
but Pain shouts "no one will hear".
Tired, I agree and sink back into fantasy
because my character has it all;
likeability, strength, self esteem and friends
to help them
overcome maladaptive daydreaming.

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.
