"soap opera to sitcom, sitcom to suicide"

Open my eyes, stare at the ceiling
can't seem to shake this kicked in the gut feeling
I reach toward the extended hand before me,
firmly grasp it in mine and pull as hard as I can.
I get to that point just before standing,
start to smile and see that I'm awake,
the hand disappears and I lose my balance,
I land flat back on the ground, back where we started...
Drift off to sleep, back where I started.
