Do I really have what it takes?

You will all say "yes!"
Scream the cliche at me.

Will I be strong enough to over come this feeling?
To feel in control? Responsible?

Will I wake up?
Snap out of this daze I am stuck in?

Yes isn't what I want to hear,
If in fact I'd rather see things happen.
That will then mold my perspective of the unknown into my hands.
Then I can make decisions and thoughts I can trust.

Right now it's a dangerous unknown void I don't know if I can pass and overcome.

Maybe I don't want the responsibility
Maybe I just want to feel free
Rather than caged.

"Wake up!" Someone screams at me I hear more as an echo,
Confused in the state I wake up from.
Bizarre.
"What have you done!" I start to wake, tubes, dark hospital room.

Freedom I thought.
How long was I gone? Fighting myself in my mind?
Well the last part of the dream was the part where I killed myself.
Funny.

Even if life does feel like a dream,
Doesn't mean we're stuck in this realm.

You wouldn't wake up.
You'd be thrown into a black void.
Nothing.
Where nothing exists.
Where you don't exist.

Where you don't exist
