Of epiphanies

Have you ever felt like your life was... frozen?

Suddenly, you wake up, but you don't open your eyes.
Instead, you just lay there for a couple of minutes, and you let your mind wander.

When did everything change?
When did you become this person?

Nevermind that, the real question here is: who is this person?

You finally open your eyes, and everything kicks in:
It's the same old room, it's the same old bed, it's the same old roof, and it's the same old life.

But if nothing's changed, then why does everything feel completely different now?

You rub your eyes, and you turn your head to look at the clock.
It's 3 AM, it's no wonder you're feeling so lonely...

Closing your eyes again, you try to fall asleep, but dreamland seems so far away now...

Suddenly, everything that's been worrying you, comes to mind in a single second.
The night is so cold, and you are so alone...

Not knowing what to do, you begin to hum the first song that comes to mind. You find yourself humming a lullaby that you heard oh so long ago...

You fake a smile, to no one in particular.

It's the same old room, it's the same old bed, it's the same old roof, and it's the same old life.
But you're not the same old you.

You slowly drift away, as sleep crawls back into your body.

In one final thought, you pray not to wake up with tears running down your face.
