False Awakening

Why are my perceptions playing tricks?
How can I release myself from this false awakening?
Look and inspect
Everything’s out of whack
I need to reset
Take a second and breathe
Recover my wits and get to the bottom of this
My heart attacks and caves in on itself
Think I’m losing what soundness I had left
Now I’m awake, but then realize it’s fake
Oh no
Paralyzed with fear
What if none of it’s real?
The question thrives
Burnt bright on the back of my eyelids
Awake or asleep
What if none of it’s real?
Why are my perceptions playing tricks?
How can I release myself from this false awakening?
Why are my perceptions playing tricks?
How can I release myself from this?
Will I ever wake up?
