Phoenix Rising

Who
Who am I?
I am Phoenix
I am
Who?
Phoenix
Can’t I be seen?
I am Phoenix
I look at my reflection
Yet again I’m not sure
Who’s that looking back?
Uncertain unsure
Is that me?
I am Phoenix
Am I?
Who says?
Me
I say
I am Phoenix
Trying to hold onto me
Who am I?
Shape shifting
I want to be me
I am Phoenix
Phoenix

I wrote this poem, just after I wrote the blog post, Feeling Like An Alien. It’s based on the struggle of maintaining my identity within dissociation. I love my system and am very grateful to every Alter for the part they have played in my survival. It can be hard though to keep my grasp on who I am.
