What if it was a dream?

Everything?

Just a lousy dream?

What if you lived your whole life,

But it was all a dream?

You lived a happy life.

You died old and happy.

But you woke up to be 20 again.

It was all a dream.

And in real life,

You had been comatose for 3 months.

When you tried explaining it,

No one would believe you.

"It's just a side-effect from the coma,"

They'd say.

You know it was.

But you could swear it wasn't.

What if from that day you forgot.

You forgot the dream.

But every dying day you knew,

Life was playing out exactly the same.

Every day was like in the dream.

And you ask yourself,

"Was it really a dream?"

But you can never know.

It could've been visions of the future.

Or deja vú.

Or real.

But you'll never know.

Because once you die, old and happy,

You wake up 20 again.

And life repeats,

Again.

Is it all a dream?

Or is your life stuck on repeat?
