Awake
Every day seems the same.
Or, at least, that’s how it had been for a long time.
Every minute,
Every hour,
Every day,
Every week -
They all blended together.
Blurring into grey
With streaks of blue and red and purple.
I swear the world was dimmed.
Color… it just didn’t reach me.
I couldn’t see right.
I couldn’t feel right.
I couldn’t cry,
Couldn’t yell,
Couldn’t… couldn’t breathe.
It felt like slowly being suffocated.
It felt like being a dead body,
Slowly decomposing.
It felt like I wasn’t quite alive,
Wasn’t…
Wasn’t awake.
And now I am.
Now I am finally,
_Finally_ awake.
I missed the world.
