What is this feeling
I can't seem to shake?
I know im not dreaming
But i dont feel awake
I look all around me
But nothing feels real
My heart keeps on pounding
it's all i can feel
What is this feeling
that steals all my breath?
Whatever i do
it won't make me fear less
I look at the world
But it's just one big dream
Reality is fading
It's not what it seems
I call out for help
But nobody can hear me
The silence within
Is all that is near me
Im trapped in my mind
with no place to go
this life is an illusion
im all on my own
A poem about the struggles i used to have with derealisation, i also struggles greatly with depersonalisation and the feeling of being outside of my body and watching myself. It can be an extremely scary and frightening experience
