Nobody ever speaks of The sadness that can be felt In your bones The kind that can be Encompassed By your whole being Nobody ever tells you How to manage Feeling like a stranger in your own body Sometimes I am a stranger to my own body Depersonalization Is a term that I have come to know all too well I have come to know What it's like To watch life happen From a distance To feel Persistant and constant Dissociation Nobody ever told me About the depression That can take over your soul While simultaneously Forcing you To watch it happen Without any ability to stop it Sometimes I feel as if I can't feel anything at all And that in itself Is truly terrifying But I am trying my hardest To take hold of the steering wheel I refuse To let it take control In the past I have Locked all of the doors to myself Thinking that If I was the only inhabitant Than nothing could get to me But lately I've realized That letting people in Will not be the downfall of myself Lately I've realized That opening up Is the key To finding answers Is the key To finding help.

Depersonalization
Nobody ever speaks of The sadness that can be felt In your bones The kind that can be Encompassed By your whole being Nobody ever tells you How to manage Feeling like a stranger in your own body Sometimes I am a stranger to my own body Depersonalization Is a term that I have come to know all too well I have come to know What it's like To watch life happen From a distance To feel Persistant and constant Dissociation Nobody ever told me About the depression That can take over your soul While simultaneously Forcing you To watch it happen Without any ability to stop it Sometimes I feel as if I can't feel anything at all And that in itself Is truly terrifying But I am trying my hardest To take hold of the steering wheel I refuse To let it take control In the past I have Locked all of the doors to myself Thinking that If I was the only inhabitant Than nothing could get to me But lately I've realized That letting people in Will not be the downfall of myself Lately I've realized That opening up Is the key To finding answers Is the key To finding help.
