I fought
for the
great
revolution
when the
poor will
come first
and
be safe
and
live like
the
happy trash
on TV–
but the
revolution
was
murdered
and
starved–
but I
escaped
into
loony bins
where
I took
pills and
acquired
the sanity
of
death.

This post was inspired by a chat with Melinda at Looking for the Light about my alternate Bobby.
I love your poem… I guess warriors are never beaten. What truly defines us are the battles we fought. Have a great week! 😉

I was watching Lie to me and it was about a girl who had DID. She had several different personalities and one of them was the protector, but he couldn’t talk. All of the others could.

I see. Protectors have different functions. Mine is nurturing and specifically designed to protect the younger alternates.
