how hard can it be, really?
when what should we do tonight gets answered by alcohol, everytime, automatically...
first recreational, social.. an activity of sorts... then a pasttime, now just to pass the time
i always wonder if i should pay any attention to my dreams
should i listen
or, how can i not when i don't know where the line is drawn anymore?
when the distinction is blurred
and reality and the other become intertwined, or at least inseperable
when i think at 4 am of how i should dry up my nights
and how sick i am of life
and how i need to make some changes.. some BIG changes
...yet in the morning i have little recollection of why i thought that
or if what happened really happened...
and when i lay there and can't distinguish him who lays next to me...
is it a dream?
but what about all that yelling?
was it real?
did he fall asleep again too?
when i wake up worried and don't know what's going on... or if the former really has gone on
is it just me?
why is my slumber such a prison?
and when i wake up cursing myself?
why do i wake up thinking i'm doing something wrong... or am i even awake?
the scariest part is the conversations...
when i don't know if they're really spoken
or am i just dreaming them?
and even worse, when i wake up and feel bad for something someone said... and they didn't really say
and the arguments i have in my sleep
... and when i wake up, clouded, and stressed
and i don't know what to do becuase i don't know what i've done
the haunting dreams that seem to transcend my sleep pattern...
and distract from "reality"... a distraction i already have
this is why i'm so tired all the time
my sleep isn't restful... it's work and stress and pain
from the hours of 3-6... and sometimes 2 and 7... rest assured (someone has to)that my mind is being tortured...
