move


closing my eyes at night 

to some that may seem right. 

for me

its a nighmare 

when my eyes close my body falls 

into an abyss of nothingness 

my mind goes crazy 

my mind screams

my body feels pain 

my heart is being squeezed 

my throut is closing 

but i cant move 

i cant speak 

i cant call for help

im useless 

i tell myself

MOVE

MOVE

MOVE

but i cant 

then i wake 

my body moves like it hasnt stopped moving in the first place
