Two Worlds Sleeping Awake

Am I alive?
Or is this a dream too?
Sometimes I can't tell between the two.

Is this me?
Or am I not understanding what I see?
What can I do to really believe?

Awake, but exhausted from my second me.
Asleep, but awake trying to breathe.
I feel helpless at times in both of these vivid life's of mine.

These two distant personalities have a connection, but also separation.
If we believe life, then we should believe in dreams.
