Final Fusion (a reflective poem)
So we became I
And I’m not sure how I feel
It’s so quiet in my head
Like I’m sitting at a table
Full of my closest mates
And now all the seats are empty
And there’s only one dinner plate
But as I walk down the hallways
Of my mind
I see bits and pieces of the fragments
That weren’t really left behind
I never lost we
We just collided
This whole time we were separated
Dissected limbs of a body
Trying to find their way back to whole
And through healing our trauma
We found our way back home
We still exist
In my joys and interests
Every aspect of my identity
Is a collage of all the parts of Me
When we shattered
We forgot we were a team
We lost the memory
That we were once a Me
There’s only one voice in my head now
But one voice doesn’t mean one color
For I is a rainbow
Many together as one
Healing didn’t disband the team
Healing created harmony
We no longer struggle for control
We no longer battle for the wheel
For we all work together
In unison
Connected limbs
Of final fusion
And I love and thank
Every part of Me
They did their best
To help this body survive
Pain split us apart
Yet we always had the same goal
To keep this soul alive
A soul shattered
Scattered
Found its way back together
An internal family reunion
That can now last forever
