Winner for the Poetry April 22 Contest

Poetry with Symbolism - Metaphors of Dissociation: Write a poem [any type] about dissociation. Try to use abstract ideas, concepts and details to give a sense of depth on how it affects you or the person feeling it.

The winner Undermeyou with "when they say, “it’s the little things” " details of how absentminded dissociation can get. There's something about that feeling you get when dissociating from reality, but still kind of aloofly being tied there and I really enjoyed that. A lot of other people did. Seventeen total people in fact and it's quite impressive! Her imagery was quite strong and I was quite enamored with the bit where she says "the black sheets will pretend to be satin" and it reminds me of this sort of comfort that you're not really quite there, and it's not cold nor entirely warm but there's a soft chilling sensation that sort of comes over you, like you're being nagged to come back to reality.

This was a fun challenge. I appreciate everyone participating and I know... I know it took a long time for me to come back around on it to even announce the winner, but I hope you can all appreciate it nonetheless.

Cheers!
