Her Island
Sitting all alone,
In a room full of people,
They know her story,
But they don�t understand,
She�s sitting all alone,
An island of pain,
And misery,
She wishes she could go,
Away from here,
To her island of safety,
And peace,
This island is her home,
A place just for her,
No one can come,
Unless she invites them in,
To the world, she�s still present,
Still sitting in the room,
Surrounded by people,
But she isn�t there,
She retreated,
To her island,
To be safe and loved,
Her face goes blank,
And her eyes gloss over,
But she is happy,
Because she�s on her island again.

This poem is talking about how it feels to me right before I disassociate.  I was trying to describe the feelings of bliss and longing that occur before I black out.  I normally just stay where I am and sort of veg out for a little while until awareness decides to come back
