In the first moments of diagnosis,

With dissociative identity disorder,

I felt scared and vulnerable,

Lost in the maze of my own mind.

Mental illness took its toll,

But there was hope for healing,

In the kindness of a therapist,

Guiding me through therapy.

My alters emerged,

Each with a story to tell,

A journey of recovery,

From the depths of despair.

And in the end, the last piece fell into place,

A puzzle of self-discovery,

A testament to the power of kindness,

And the resilience of the human spirit.
