I have a really hard time
discerning what's real and ridiculous,
what's right and wrong.

Sometimes,
I can't feel anything around me when I'm awake,
but I hurt the most in my dreams.
I give the best advice, yet
I ignore my conscience's screams.

I've lost a lot of sleep in these past few weeks. In that time, I've discovered a lot about myself.
