Define Reality
Dreams are reality
undiluted authenticity
Yet when I wake
painful hallucination
tenacity shattered
Have I ever mattered?
Conclusion skeptical
not really shocking
Supposedly impervious
looks can be devious
Regard more closely
Elevate introspection
My spirit decimated
emotion annihilated
I strive to exist all day
Failure come evening
I sleep, succor for me
now living my reality
undiluted authenticity
Yet when I wake
painful hallucination
tenacity shattered
Have I ever mattered?
Conclusion skeptical
not really shocking
Supposedly impervious
looks can be devious
Regard more closely
Elevate introspection
My spirit decimated
emotion annihilated
I strive to exist all day
Failure come evening
I sleep, succor for me
now living my reality

No, unless being between the two is bothersome. That happens on occasion.

Perhaps both are illusory - we just move between horizontal and vertical illusions, one we label 'asleep' the other we label 'awake'. I have to say, sometimes it's really hard to tell :))

Sometimes I do, too. At times, I feel caught between realities. I appreciate your observations on my work - thank you. Blessings, Silence
