"What?"
"You know exactly what I mean. Now roll them up or I'll do it myself."
((She can see the tears welling in her mom's worried eyes...this happens everytime.))
She looks around the room; hoping for a distraction((the one that never comes)). Her mom stares knowingly at the long sleeve ((but it's Summer?)) she has fixed between her thumb and forfinger. ((Pinching so tightly, wishing that her mom would just give up.))
Tension. She's still waiting for her mom to leave the room. No matter how much her mom begs her, she'll never be able to reveal all those horrible reminders that shine across her once perfect skin.

Directions to a HeartbreakThis is the way you should break my heart.Directions to a Heartbreak7 years ago in Teen More Like This
Firstly, you have to call me over the phone, since we're both too cowardly to see eachother's faces. Call on a weekend, perferably a Friday night so I can cope over the weekend and stay home that night to curl under the covers.
Tell me, "We had great times but-" then pause, and let me say "But what? Are you breaking up with me?" Say this, "No no no, I'm not...well...yes and no. I really like you but-" pause again because you don't know why you're doing this. "But what?" I will persist. "Is there someone else? Is it something I did? What?"

And shed your light in ribbons upon the dirt.
Covered in slime and shit; mutiny and greed; all sins -
a bold perturbing circle of despair.
Knee-deep, sinking through it's density,

Built upon need and disappointment,

Dear God! Even you would stumble and slip

It is with malice that we ache,
with hate and pain and blood,
all spilling from us, equal; as we are in our toils.
But with it all comes perseverance
And sweat; grit and will; iron clad.
Torture and want breeding need and endurance,
So that in the finality of this do

Forget the past
and open up your mind.
No longer look
for the realistic lie,
Don't try to predict
how many times you'll cry.
Render yourself sightless
to all the unknown,
Shut the doors in the hallways
of what you've been shown.
Spend life living

Close your eyes

Chapter One
The weakness was returning. It always returned, and there was only one way to survive it.
Tallutha slipped through the overgrown hollowed out building using the harsh shadows that the moon cast as cover. The skeletons of the ancient city that now supported a towering growth of thick vines were the perfect hunting grounds. No one knew exactly what had happened to the pervious world, most didn’t care.
Tallutha had her beliefs about it, and it was what drove her to the cities rather than to the Wilds. The prey in the cities was more dangerous, but it was worth it. Closing her dark brown eyes she took a deep br

Dont let my mind subside,
Pull me from the dark In which I hide.
Show me your light,
And let us collide,
Rip me from the wall that divides.
Take away my fear,
In you I confide,
The me thats covered by my tainted side.
Look deeper,
To see through my pride,
Because if I said I didnt care I lied.
Hold me tighter,
It was all just a ride,
That I couldnt get off 'till something in me died.

To drink away the deceit on your lips.
I would hold you,
And watch the candle burn,
Waiting for your fate to turn.
I would cry,
For without you theres no need to cleanse,
I hate the silence I made with stitches and veins.
I cant ignore you,
Even though you made me lay you in the ground,
So you could dream without a sound.
If you go,
I would lay in the cemetery where you sleep,
Just to remember the promise you always keep.
If I loved you,
Would you promise to love me forever,
And let my ties to this world be severed?

Indifferent, blasé, nonchalant;
Deceitful armour,
Hushed interior…
Silence
Desire of explosion,
Yet too scared;
Frightened to disclose,
Frightened to unveil…
Silence
Wanting to confide,
Failing.
I cannot remove my armour,
I cannot start again…
Silence
Indestructible armour
Of lies and false parody,
I hate your existence;
I hate this silence…

and in side the wounds your words creep.
Sinking in and burying into a part of me I can't reach.
Your comments travel to my heart and my brain
and there's just no carving out that kind of pain
Those words and phrases can't be tamed
They mean what you mean and, they mean what you say.
I can cover the scars with band aids
I can hide the bruises that's why foundation was made
I can lock away my self mutilation attitude
but what I can't cover up, hide, lock away
is all the syllables that made words that created the sentences that made me

Leaves and needles forced to fall off and float around me
I wonder to my self why the trees take the abuse from the violent breeze
And then I wonder if the relationship between the two
Is the like the relationship of me and you.
One forces the other to bend to take all they have and still stand tall
Pushing then until little pieces of them fall
Hurting then until their screams dissolve in to nothing at all
Why so much abuse between these two?
Is it the same situation as me and you?
Do they think they love each other too?

puzzle piece.
Will you force me
again and again,
to make me fit in?
Will you take me
again and again,
to find where I belong?
Will you tear me
again and again,
to create the perfect shape?
Will you scar me
again and again,
to disguise my individuality?
Will you abandon me
now and forever,
to leave me incomplete.

Tick tock goes the clock
As life begins its trip
Tick tock, time goes on
And older each one gets
Time is non-existent,
Time is everywhere
Time begins a journey
With as little as a care
For in the grander scheme of things
The ones that matter don't
And when looked at from far away
The lives that should live won't
For still the time keeps marching on
In never-ending step
It cares but none for what it kills
Or what deceit it's wrept
The time continues day and night
It goes throughout the morn
The time remains unceasing still
As now blows loud the horn
Will it chance that none remains the same

Anger.
Desperation.
Everything that escapes from my hands I cannot control anymore...
my heart beats in agony
while I write this song with the blood from my wrists.
I'm thinking that soon I'll reach my limit...
I stare at your broken wet photographies leaning all over the floor.
Why are you so perfect? to me...
What are you? a God? Why do I adore you this much?
Why does she have to take away everything I've ever wanted?
...everything I've ever dreamed with?...
Envy?
Why is this being so cruel?
I can't support the pain anymore.
It screams for getting out of my body...
a voice that says, fire!

Having a Mom with DID can be tough. You may often times wish you had a "normal" Mom. You may find yourself getting angry or embarrassed at your Mom for being the way that she is. That's okay. It is difficult to understand and sometimes it's hard to believe that it's real. I would like to help you to understand and how to cope with DID.
As a Mom (who has DID) to 3 children I know how frustrating it can be for them. They often feel very alone in their feelings and confusion. You are not alone in this. There are lots of kids just like you who have a Mom with DID who also have the same questions

Freezing from the cold
Crying for the love
The love I thought was real,
The love you freely gave me,
The love that you took back.
Alone in the dark
Freezing from the cold
Crying for the love
The cold that took over your soul
The cold that crept into your heart
The cold that showed in your eyes that day
Alone in the dark
Freezing from the cold
Crying for the love
The dark seperates us from those we hold dear
The dark isolates us in fear
The dark that makes us so alone

Illuminating the stars
Fireflies in the night
Hanging like lanterns.
I remember these nights
We were so happy
We were so perfect
Nothing could stand in our way.
The stars seemed to cascade
As I fell asleep in your arms
And I wished that
We'd never fall apart.
And the sunset soon took over
Pinks and yellows flooding the sky
Even though the sun was warm
I still felt cold inside.
I lay on the ground alone
You vanished in the night
No good-bye
No I love you.
You left me.
I cowered in the shadows
Waiting for you to come back
No sign of you,
No sign of love.

And find another asylum.
Some place so far away,
That it's not even on the map.
I could hide from this hate,
I'd never need to feel this.
I need to get away from it,
Before my life is in danger.
(It could all just end with a knife.)
The rage is growing with every step taken,
Why won't this go away?
Everything is locked inside,
I can't find a reason to release it.
I'm afraid to admit,
That this will eventually inflict an innocent life.
I can feel this tearing me down,
I need a solitary place.
(I'll keep this blood running down my arm.)
This world is wicked,
It provides me with no security.
So
