The Last Alter Stand'n
I'm feeling depressed, fearful, & I have no real purpose to Live My Life.....
Not without the rest of Us BEing here.....
with~in Me.
This is leaving Me confused, angry, & very anti-social.
I want to feel better but I don't know how, when I'm disoriented by it.
Because I'm without the other Alters here.
It was Their moral compasses that gave Me a sense of direction.
And what is now a vastness I feel inside.
One of an emptiness that I never knew could exist.
I'm tired of crying.
My head hurts from a keen sense of a sudden body, that is devoid of all My Lights, & emptied of all My Souls.
I don't know what to do with Me anymore, since I have become an antithetical stranger to Myself.
It's so dark & cold inside this vessel that contains only Me now.
I have no will to do anything at all, not without the rest of US.
I Am polarized in a situation that has Me suspended in a time, that is both slow & fleet'n Me.
These days are paralyzing Me with agony.
I wish to pierce this numbness, just to know that I'm still here.
I'll do anything to make it all stop, maybe then I could feel ALIVE.
I feel so far away from Me yet so closed off, & it's because I couldn't be any closer to Me than I already Am.
This isiolation has Me left sitting here, aware of an excruciating loneliness I've never known.
Which is why I'm not mistaken that I'm here, harrowing in a Life not Mine.
The only thing that I could think would make Me feel any comfort is being in a straight jacket.
Because at 4'O'clock this morning, I smelled the Others in My olfactory.
And that broke Me some more... since They're nowhere to be found.
I never knew I'd find out what Their scent would smell like, making it different than Mine.
This revelation makes Me burst out into tears.
I have no idea where the smell even came from, much less understand how I can recognize that it's not My body oder anymore.
I realize I'm living My biggest fear in daymares.
I have no power to stop these sensations.
I'm fully awake & can do nothing to get out of a reality that I've never dreamed could happen to Me.... ever
I don't have it in Me to kill Me.
But neither do I have it in Me to want to go on Living.
I have never wanted to Live just as much as I wanted to die, and that's only in case I can feel US Together again.
My grief stricken face hurts all over.
I feel blistered & swollen from cheeks so raw by constant swiping of the tears away.
I hurt so much now I couldn't cry.
Now I'm all dried up, I'm shriveled with an illness that I have no remedy to.
I Am sick to My core from BEing lost of Ourselves, what Am I to do?
Now that all My Alters have gone?
When I'm still here.
There's nothing I can do about it but be right where I Am.....
Just barely breathing because I can't hold My breath forever.
So eternally I wait on My other behalves, to hopefully become WHOLE once again.
