I'm going slightly mad

It's 2 am, I'm sitting by the window, the night is dark and I can barely see, God... I wish I could see something in this darkness.
Suddenly, something beyond my imagination takes place in front of me... I can't believe what is happening, could this be real, or is it my mind playing games with me?
It's so strange... 1001 yellow daffodils are dancing in front of me, oh dear... what is all this? I see lights and colours, I see numbers, letters and notes floating around, they are trying to get into my room, but I won't let them, if they are real, they might hurt me, but if they are not, then I'll know how mad I'm going.
I try to clear my mind, send these symblos away and try to find out what is really happening.
I see people playing far away, young men riding some weird three-wheeled vehicule as if they were children, why are they doing it? My curiosity is much bigger than my fear right now. They are calling me now, they invite me to join them, I doubt, hesitate, but finally decide to do it. I open my window and leave the safety of my room, of my world.
I feel the grass, it's wet, I feel it with my naked feet and I get used to it with every step of the way.
Something weird is happening, I can't understand it.
The men I saw are still playing and calling me, I try to reach them, but I can't. I start to run, but, even so, they keep far from me, I get desperate, I feel stressed and they just laugh, I look to the dark sky and ask myself why... I decide to give up, I want to go back to my room, to my world, but it's too far and I can't reach it...
I panic, I try to escape but my feet are dead, as if they were buried... Suddenly I lose all control, I can't even feel my body, there is no gravity, I start to float, it's like space, like an astrounat...the dream of every child, why am I not enjoying it? All I want is to go home, say hi to my mother and my father, play with my dog... I lose it, finally, I scream, I shout, ask for help but no one is coming... I'm alone in the dark... I think by now... why did I open that window... was this a test? did I fail?... I give up, I can't do this anymore... I scream... I close my eyes and release the loudest scream that I've ever released.
Suddenly, everything goes quiet, I feel my body again, I open my eyes, I'm in my room, I'm still looking at the window, watching the darkness with tears in my eyes...
It was my mind -I say- I think I'm going slightly mad after all... I go to the bathroom to cool my face with water. I look at myself in the mirror, I look at my shoulder... there is something... a small daffodil is resting on my shoulder...
