One of our alters, Christine, wrote this poem before we knew we were a poly-fragmented dissociative identity disorder system. We were diagnosed with DID at the time. Not all of our alters can relate, nor can a lot of other DID systems. It is about connecting and supporting alters within our body that have experienced similar abuse to one another.

Fighting high

Fighting low

We stand together

Fighting strong

 

No matter how

Things turn out

We always come

Out on top

 

Fighting high

Fighting low

We stand together

Fighting strong

 

Our journeys have

Been the same

So we know how

Each other feels

 

Fighting high

Fighting low

We stand together

Fighting strong

 

If we stand as

One we will go

So much further

Through the pain

 

Fighting high

Fighting low

We stand together

Fighting strong

 

We don’t need

To fight our

Connection anymore

As we have always been one

 

Fighting high

Fighting low

We stand together

Fighting strong

 

It hasn’t been

A great path

Where’ve travelled

But hand in hand

 

We can keep…

 

Fighting high

Fighting low

As we stand together

Fighting strong

 

You are my friends

And you know how I feel

And I know how you all feel

So we don’t have to explain anything

 

But we all are

 

Fighting high

Fighting low

As we all stand together

Fighting strong

 

Nothing will ever

Take away

Our bond we share

As we all are all one

 

Like a mother

And her children

I’ll nurse us all to sleep

And keep us safe

 

Fighting high

Fighting low

Fighting strong

As we all stand together as one….
