Reality Check

"I can hear it."

I can hear it.

A woman calls my name

A child cries in pain

Unknown friends encourage me

It's not real.

I can see it.

The ground cracks and shifts

The shadows dance with the moon

People vanish before me

It can't be real.

I can feel it

I felt their hands

I felt their pain

I feel them breath

So is it real?

I can keep questioning.

Asking myself over and over

did that actually happen

Second-guessing every sense

Asking if it's real or...

I can assume.

That chair is real

That voice is real

That hand was real

It has to be real

So it is
