Walk A Day in my shoes

A poem I wrote a few years ago when I was diagnosed with DID and at my lowest. now my life has a brighter look on it.✨️

Walk A Day in my shoes

I wish you walked in my shoes every day,

I wish you felt like a complete empty soul every day,

I wish you could feel what empty and hollow felt like,

I wish you could feel how the pain of not knowing what you did does

I wish you could go through the feeling of being betrayed by yourself,

I wish you could understand my head,

I wish they were just My imagination,

I wish I didn't have to feel like a victim when I'm not;

I wish I could be my own savior, but instead, I have to be trapped in my own head fighting my own battles and battling demons you wish never existed,

I wish you could feel what It's like not to even remember waking up,

I wish you could understand being trapped in your head and not being able to be in control,

I wish you could walk A-day in my shoes Before Judge me,

I wish you could so you could see the truth behind the pain that I live every day,

A pain that I can't get rid of,

I wish you could walk A-day in my shoes just to feel what I feel just thats just to feel nothing.

I wish you could walk A-day in my shoes when I feel nothing,

I wish you could be the one lying in bed every night trying to fall asleep because you can't because no one wants to shut up in,

Lying in bed just wishing to go to sleep when you're just trying to be whole,

I wish you could look in the mirror every day and wonder who you were,

I wish you could look in the mirror and see nothing,

Because nothing is what I see when I look at myself,

Shadow with broken pieces,

I wish you could walk A-day in my shoes listening to people call you a liar,

A liar because how many other people in the world forget what they're doing?

How many other people in the world forget where they're at?

Of course, it sounds fake,

But they're all very real.

They're there, and they're trying to take control,

I've lost control and nowhere to go but to fall,

I wish you knew what it was like to only remember half your childhood,

I wish you could walk A-day in my shoes.

I wish you were scared of yourself like I am myself,

I wish you could feel as follows as I, even more hollow now than I was.

I wish you could walk A-day in my shoes,

But that's a wish that'll never come true,

Because you'll never know how really feels or how really is to be me,

You'll never really know what it's like to battle demons every day of your life.

Never know what it's like to hear multiple people on your head,

I wish you could hear all the multiple people that aren't even your voices.

I wish you could constantly be battling yourself,

I wish you could constantly be fighting with yourself every day like I do.

Oh how I wish you could just walk A-day in my shoes then you don't understand.
