			<description><![CDATA[ Found myself in these lands, lands which have no name, the owner was named, yet not the lands. Lands that began with youth and innocence and ended with age and
corruption.
<br>
<br>
Lands where the inocentr was little by little replaced with sin and temptation. Lands that we all have and lands of which none can escape. Lands that know what
is wrong and what is right, but lands we ignore.
<br>
Lands that contain people we can only remember. Lands that contain memories of the evil we have... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I put a trigger warning on this one, it is not specific but the content is implied strongly and it might trigger someone.  Had a long conversation with pdoc
today about what I had in my life that gave me joy or pleasure, something about it that doesnt hurt all the time writing and singing is it......I have been
writing like crazy.  Sometimes I write things just to get the thoughts out of my head, this is one of those, dont share these often.

never been able to draw a straight line with a ruler, much less artistically, although several females in my family were world class.  She (my alter) was kind
enough to let me sit in and watch, but I never new what was next as symbols were surely created, most in an hour or so.  They are definately DID symbols, each

Sometimes I use a program called GIMP to tweak them or incorporate them with other graphics or photos.  I love doing this so much.

<br>
I remember when I thought you were beautiful:
<br>
the way you seemed to shine, and glitter.

I thought your green eyes magnificent

and your hair--it drew my touch better than any doll&#39;s.

Always I wanted to dip my fingers into... ]]></description>

Your silence is not golden:

it hasn&#39;t a hue,

nor an aura--not purple,

not mysterious--

It isn&#39;t regal

nor does it echo, nor

though it can be seen

but not heard.

It isn&#39;t stoic, nor pious,

and passions

I know I&#39;m new around these parts but I wanted to share something I made very recently, right before I found out I may have DID.  I named it Escaping
Association because at that time I accidentally ran across some word I can&#39;t even find now but I was related to dissociation and to me, this is sort of
what happens inside my head sometimes.  <img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b197/riversrages/sweatdrop.gif" alt="image">

that lies behind the wall

she paces, muttering,

preoccupied,

scratching at cracks

in the sealings,

feeling along grainy stones

for trap doors,

rusted hinges,

ready to snap free,

time, countless many are driven by fear, terror and horror as it grips them refusing to let go. This is not the delusional rants of one with severe psychosis
or thought disorder symptoms. I am about to be a college graduate, I am a performer, a competitor, a sister, an artist, a writer, an advocate, I am a woman who

			<description><![CDATA[ At dusk before the dark comes in
<br>
We feel the fear awake
<br>
Another night of suffering
<br>
We know the pain can make
<br>
<br>
We used to love, we used to cry
<br>
but now we just feel worn
<br>
It&#39;&#39;s numb in here, the pain to great
<br>
We feel our souls our torn
<br>
<br>
We pray some day for happiness
<br>
that soon our day will come
<br>
When we can live with peace and hope
<br>
And be safe so we won&#39;t be numb
