A wakeup call
To reality
The alarm goes off
And you see the past was just a dream
A lie
The sun has risen
But it is different than you remember
You see the world
In a whole new light
Realizing new and old things
Remembering the forgotten, the unknown, the remembered
There is confusion, shock, and panic
An unwillingness to get out of bed
To accept the changed reality
Closing your eyes tight
Struggling to remember, to keep hold
Wishing to return to the dream
To the lie
To escape the inevitable
Even if for only one more night
You reach out
And push the snooze button
