Am I escaping from a dream or stepping into a nightmare?  
The two are so similar I can no longer tell. 
I'm trapped in this place where everything is the same..
Nothing makes sense. My words sound mundane...
I've said all this before 
But somehow its different this time 
My head is spinning 
My stomach twirling 
My feet on the ground or on the ceiling? 
So tired I'm wide awake, or am i sleeping? And only dreaming?
maybe only a nightmare from which I'm reliving.. 
Either way I need to wake up. Realize that this is only me.
Awaken something deep inside, 
Not only now but for eternity. 
Only I will ever know..
That what's deep inside I'll
Never show.
Am I awake or am I dreaming?
 Stepping into a nightmare or awake upon the ceiling?

Only I will ever know.
So I cast upon you,
This feeling.
I don't want it anymore.

Am I awake? Or merely dreaming?
