Disconnected & Dissociated?
Here's a poem I just wrote. I send it out there to all who may feel disconnected and/or lonely. Damn! It sure is hard NOT to feel disconnected when you're dissociative, huh?
In My Own World I’ll Stay
In my own world, I pray
That you can still find me.
It seems more, day by day,
We’re losing sight; the two of us can’t see.
I still feel you near.
But I’ve no crystal ball
To find out where you are
And so I stay…
In my own world, away.
I thought I’d search
The whole, wide-world for you.
But, what good can it do,
If I can’t find you there?
‘Til we rejoin,
Until our way’s made clear,
I’ll just wait here
In my own world, I’ll stay.
We’re out of touch today
And no one is to blame.
If pain and fear still reign,
Then we cannot know what we became.
I love you ever more;
Two worlds will be no more.
Until that joyous day,
Right here, I’ll stay…
In my own world, today.

April Showers and Blog Carnival Power
Beauty has the April edition of The Blog Carnival Against Child Abuse up now at her blog, Beautiful Dreamer. It's a fabulous edition...and LARGE! I think there are 25 entries linked there. I bet Beauty didn't realize she'd be wrestling with such a big edition when she agreed to host for April. But, she's done a wonderful job. I'm going over there right now to visit some of the courageous survivor and survivor advocate bloggers joining us this month. I'll leave comments when I visit, too. Won't you join me?
