Authenticity or Death

Authenticity or Death

From the first self awareness
To the first suppressed breath
To the first dissociation
It's authenticity or death

Mid twenties
panic attacks
hearing voices
figuring out sources

Doctors,
medications,
therapists, 
treatments

Naming the condition
trauma dissociations
emotional and psychological manipulations
of a very young child

Not my words, 
but great relief
To know what's wrong

Trauma dissociations
Reintegrations
Living with conditions
It's authenticity or death

when authenticity is suppressed
the wound is not visible
but when you split a personality
and lock it in a closet
one day it will escape
and if not acknowledged
not listened to
attempt to repress
it may quite end in death

Self harm, suicidal ideation
a mess of thoughts a short of breath
A choice, or not, an eventual decision
acknowledgement, acceptance
It's authenticity or death.


Existential

I'd like to not exist Than to live this life as it is To see suffering all around With no eyelids in pain   Speed run through the stages...
