Sometimes when I look down the halls of dominion everything seems fake.

The hallways get blurry and dark.

My vision gets blurry it's like light flickering in my eyes.

My hands feel like they’re someone else's, not mine.

I wonder if this is real if I’m really in a mental hospital “am I crazy??”

I remember where I am and forget who I am.

I get spacy it’s like I’m not even their.

I push people away I barely even talk.

Something wasn't right “what is happening?”

It's called dissociation that's what I do dissociate now I know what it is to be more aware.
