(A/N) This one is for anyone who wonders what depersonalization feels like (the first 6 lines). I changed the pronouns to genderless ones for privacy reasons.



Looking into the mirror,

My reflection stares back at me.

The person in the mirror,

I know that's me,

But they don't look like me,

Because I don't look like anyone.

But I love them nonetheless.

They do so much for me,

And in return I keep them clean, fed and healthy.

I don't want to hurt them just because I'm sick.

They deserve so much better than me.

I take care of them the best that I can,

To keep them satisfied.

And yet I'm so afraid,

'Cause I worry I might collapse before they do.

So I have to be stronger,

For them.
