I used to listen to all kinds of radio programs at work including a radio evangelist who used to do take calls and pray and minister for those with MPD (multiple personality disorder). They would tell their stories and the suffering they had lived through.
I felt for the people that called in and the kind of pain and suffering they went through knowing from people I grew up with that these kinds of terrible things really happened and it really saddened me to hear how people could hurt children like that.
MPD is when the brain creates different personalities to cope with or hide trama. more here Web MD.
I felt empathy and sadness. I started to write Severed to share the story of their darkness and shed light on the pain that was caused by darkness.
Severed
Closing my eyes
and darkness comes
Cleansing my sins
I can’t forget my broken dreams
Felling so cold
innocence stole
cutting myself
I’m losing my mind
Hiding inside
the suicide ride
alter of my soul
I’m losing my control
Severed in two from one mind
Severed in 2,3,4,5 Go.
one, one who takes the pain,
one, one who sits and cries.
tell me which one it is when you look into these eyes.
Building a wall
shelter my soul from the wind and the rain
Hiding inside
Hiding inside the back of my mind
