Madness

Poetry

I watched her fall into madness.

A dark hole of sadness.

She was not herself, I watched from a distance.

Her smile, God how I missed it.

She struggled in fear and rejection.

Turning to false loves for protection.

She was broken inside.

I watched as she tried to hide.

As I watched I knew how she felt.

It never occurred to me until now that I was watching myself.

As I was watching I began to cry.

I was starting to understand why.

Why my life, was never my friend.

Why so easily I wanted it to end.

***********************************************************************I wrote this poem before I was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder. Even here in this poem you can see a very clear symptom of BPD, disassociation.

Disassociation (noun)

Psychiatry: separation of normally related mental processes, resulting in one group functioning independently from the rest. Such as feeling as if you are watching yourself from outside of your body.
