DisassociationA Poem by taboo.poetpsychology poempsychological poemTreading the line between reality and imagination, unwilling to comprehend the truth: She lives in her dreams- in bright colored skies filled with "coulda/shoulda/wouldas", dancing along bright clouds, never realizing she's slowly s l i p p i n g. Yet everyday she slips farther and treads deeper into denial, grasping onto truths that are merely fantasies. Her family wonders and worries and they speak of her sanity. In hushed tones they worry of her safety. But the incidents get worse and they question, what could cause someone to go so far away? To create a new world, a new truth, a new identity all within their mind..? Finally they find her a bed at a local institution, where she slips farther, talking of bright clouds and dancing on sunsets and a husband who doesn't exist. But she sticks to her stories, her warped reality; disassociating further and further until finally she is there. And yet they still ask, how could this be? How could she go so far away, what could be the cause? But what they don't realize is their in the same position as her... Creating an alternate reality, disassociating just as she has: from the mother who sides with father and from the father who rapes the daughters and the daughters who tell the mother and the mother who says its not happening... And so they're all slowly s l i p p i n g And they'll never come back. © 2012 taboo.poetAuthor's Note
