why does it always feel like
i'll wake up and realize
that none of this was real
i am so tired so often
and when my eyes close
and i am between the wake dream
and the sleep dream
i pray to rest in peace eternally
but i keep breathing
like the seasons
freeze and thaw again
infinite lifetimes
birth feels like death to a baby
death feels like birth to us maybe
in and out of consciousness
remembering the timeline
where i dreamed of you
and i am aligned with
whatever world would make you happy
even if i'm not a part of it
