Awake. That feeling can mean many different things. Sober. Sick. Irrelevant.
Alone. Empty. The feelings sometimes accompanied with awake. An emotionally painful sort of awake, where waking up at all is torture. The sort where you go about your business, and continue playing underdog to the system. Where you fabricate the surface of your existence to please the wants and needs of others. The outside. The part of you that everyone interprets. The part that you fight so hard for, but never really matters in the end. The human distinction.
