Reality?

who am i?
do i even know?
what are my plans?
who do i love?
am i even real?
or is this just a bad dream?
will i wake up?
if i do, will this all be the same?
or will i wake up someone else?

imagine waking up someone else.
everything you thought you were is gone.
the people you dreamed of aren't real.
the heart ache you felt was a twist in a nightmare.
the person you were doesn't exist.
instead you're someone you've never seen before.
in a place you've never been.
you wonder then, if This is just a bad dream.
there's no escape.
this could very well be reality.
