Missing

by Obscure   Jan 25, 2022


I disappeared the other day
I don't know how I did
My eyes could see, my ears could hear
But muffled, as if hid

My room was empty, though I stood
It seemed no one could hear me
The hands I saw were not my own
and I was nowhere near me

I did not leave my room that day
But neither was I in
The mirror showed a figure there
But no soul in its skin

I did not live the other day
I'm not sure how that was
I know I lived the day before
I don't know who else does

    A wonderful piece showing depersonalisation and depression. So many more will be able to connect to this after the enforced isolation periods over the last 2 years.

    I truly love this.

    It's darker undertones and observations remind me of myself.

    I also loved that you rhymed it. A thing some seem scared to do of late.

    Respect

    I get alienated like this from myself all the times. I adore the maturity in which you describe this deep state of alienation..

    I could totally imagine myself as a wraith while reading this. Magnificent.
