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
