Disassociation

A fleeting poem

Disassociation

Out of my body

__

I’ve disappeared

Because of fear

__

Without a thought

__

I’m out of here

__

Not even I know that I’ve gone

__

Believe me,

 The lights are on but no one is home

__

As time goes on,

Leaving is a crutch

­__

Now, if I could just stay present

I can definitely feel this one. Although my disassociation is more of a disconnection. Not belonging. But nicely done.

Congratulations.
I like this a lot.
Though I don't know why.

I have spant much of my life in absentia.
I take a personal meaning from this fine write, and appreciate the message very much. Thank you!

We all try to run from our problems staying and facing them is always the hardest part. Great write

It would be nice to be able to escape at will. Last line made the poem complete. Thank you for a excellent poem.

Ahh, I think I know what you mean here… I've been wanting to write a poem like this for a while, so good job for getting to it before I did, haha!

The 6th stanza is my favorite stanza, and my favorite line is "leaving is a crutch." I didn't get it at first, but now that I do, I think it's a great metaphor.
