Reality

Lately, I've been dreaming again.

And usually, I can tell the difference between my dreams and reality... but not anymore.

My dreams are blurring into reality and feel like memories to me.

When I opened one of my chats today I was confused.

I remembered texting this person.

I remembered having a conversation with them.

I remembered holding my phone in my hands and laying in bed.

But... our chat was empty as it had been for the past few weeks.

I also knew I had several callouses on my hands from work.

I knew this because I remembered coming into my room after work and running my finger over them.

But... when I turned my hand over this morning my hand was smooth.

And maybe I can't tell the difference anymore between dreams and the awake world.

Am I even awake now?

I don't know.

Maybe I'll wake up later today and find that all of this was only a dream.

Maybe I'm not even real.

None of this is.

And if I'm not real, then none of this exists.

My thoughts, this story, my relationships...

It's not real, is it?

I was just a dream all along wasn't I?

AN: An exaggeration of my feelings.
