Sleep Paralysis


Fully aware of the nightly scares, Half alive, I witness shadows revive, I lay in bed wishing to run, but can only stay for more fun, A sea of darkness surrounding me, Trapped in a body that has been hacked, My loss of control is what I fear, Not the creatures looming near, Half dead I shed my final tear, for I decided that the end is here
