Is this real? - Poem

Trigger Warning: this poem is about derealisation disorder and suicidal ideations.

As a reminder I am safe, I wrote this poem a couple of months ago.

P.S. You are looking beautiful today xoxo 😊

 

Is this real?

What's the point in trying when it feels like everyone I love will disappear?

What's the point in doing what I want if I'm in a dream?

 

Disconnected from the world,

Seeing the world through a glass wall.

I am small,

I am an annoyance.

 

Why try and fight when everyone leaves my anyway?

Why stay when I have nothing in any way?

 

Is this real? Are you real?

Are you my friend? Do you consider me family?

 

I need pain to be sure.

I need rain to be pure.

 

Embrace me in your arms.

Place me in your heart,

Where it's nice and warm.
