The world will keep spinning, but as soon as you lay your head down in your bed, slowly drifting off to sleep, within the hour or two you're in your mind. Memories playing without you even trying to imagine. Years worth of memories, memories just recently happened, forgotten memories. That's when the world feels like it has stopped but in reality it's still spinning. Before you know it, your alarm, or child or the sun is waking you up.
It's another day. Again and again. Seems like the only time the world actually feels like it stopped is when you're drifting off to sleep. Maybe that's why people love to sleep so much. Maybe that's why everyone is so exhausted.
Maybe that's the only way to escape reality. If only we could stay in that feeling. Maybe then the world wouldn't feel so chaotic when we wake.
