the world is hazy
i feel like it's all a dream
but then i feel something real
and it's like i woke up
but i didn't want to
initially it makes me happy
but then it hurts
it always hurts
and i wish i could just go back to being asleep
it's hard to tell what was yesterday and what's now
but i can usually laugh it off
it's annoying sometimes
when i forget
but i manage to remember and move on
it hurts too much to be real
whether it's my heart that hurts
not used to these emotions
or my mind that hurts
overflowing with them
it's like a waterfall
turning me into stone as i stare off into space
blue water leaking out wherever it can
but it's imaginary
nobody else can see it
nobody else sees what's real
'it's just a feeling.'
are feelings not real?
'it'll pass.'
what do i do when it comes back?
'try this.'
what if it doesn't work?
am i stuck then?
is there no solution to my problem?
i don't want to be real
'are you okay?'
no, i'm not.
'do you want to talk about it?'
no, i don't.
'okay. but i'm here. i won't leave.'
i don't want you to.
i can see your waterfalls.
can you see mine?
i don't want them to show.
you make me happy.
i don't want you to go.
please be real.
please.
i don't care how bad it hurts.
i want you to be real.
i don't want to feel fake anymore.
i'm tired of going back to sleep.
i want to wake up.
i don't want it to be hazy.
i want to see colors.
i want to see you.
everything's so blurry.
all the lines mix together.
but yours don't.
i can see your waterfalls.
they're overflowing.
but you're not blurry.
why are you not blurry?
why am i blurry?
please
i want to be real
it'll hurt
but i want to be real for you
