I feel captive, hostage, trapped and bound Within the corners of my own mind Deep within my skin I feel like there  is no exit sign, no escape, no doors or windows But I feel so free Like I can be, do, see or say anything at all I push everything aside Tell my heart and mind that I don't feel a thing I turn my senses off and I escape I go where no one else can see I know people I've never met And I've been places no ones dreamt But I  can't help it I can't turn it off I can't escape when I dissociate I am a prisoner inside my mind I've been hurt and this is how I cope But I don't feel anything I only feel the feelings of someone I am not Someone I can never be I have memories of someone foreign living in my skin But I can't help it I need to leave, pause, reset and breath I can escape when I dissociate

Maladaptive Daydreaming
I feel captive, hostage, trapped and bound Within the corners of my own mind Deep within my skin I feel like there  is no exit sign, no escape, no doors or windows But I feel so free Like I can be, do, see or say anything at all I push everything aside Tell my heart and mind that I don't feel a thing I turn my senses off and I escape I go where no one else can see I know people I've never met And I've been places no ones dreamt But I  can't help it I can't turn it off I can't escape when I dissociate I am a prisoner inside my mind I've been hurt and this is how I cope But I don't feel anything I only feel the feelings of someone I am not Someone I can never be I have memories of someone foreign living in my skin But I can't help it I need to leave, pause, reset and breath I can escape when I dissociate
