What was that?
Last night.
A dream?
A hallucination?

My mind was on a different plane.
Fully engrossed in another issue.
Discouraged, hopeless, sobbing.
Finally liberated only to be trapped again.
Controlled, helpless.

I was making a snack.
I didn't want to eat.
Partly a distraction.
Partly a necessity.

A sudden intrusion of my thoughts.
I tried to push away, shift my focus.
Surprised, invaded, overwhelmed.
But the feeling was too strong to resist.
Unwelcome, unwanted.

Intensely powerful.
Completely inexplicable.
Entranced by sensations.
I relented to imagination.

I was standing in the kitchen.
Experiencing the waves you so easily induced.
Confused, frightened, satisfied.
Afterward surrendering to exhaustion.
Weak, comfortable.

So Please tell me.

What was that?
Last night.
A dream?
A hallucination?
Or was it real?

I don't know what to make of it.
I never seem to find.
"Normality"
Whatever that is.
I swear.
No one would believe my biography.
Even if it was passed off as fiction.
