My dreams pass through me each moment flicker like a rolling film, the teal seems to contrast with the other colours. In them I hear tales of untold success, I hear wedding bells and a bride giggling along with the sound of a rustling dress as it sweeps the floor. I see the sun through a crack in the blinds, I see a cup of coffee on a tabletop that has been washed and wiped so many times that the patterns start to fade. I feel relentlessly motivated yet confused as to which reality I might want to live. A world I captured in my mind, where nothing is patched together properly, the smells don't correspond with the sounds, the sights don't echo the other senses, so do I live in a blinded mind's fantasised fiction pieced together like stitches in a dress or in reality where everything is as it is and I can be certain of what is happening.
