Sleep Paralysis
Why? Why can’t I move?
Everything is dark and my chest is heavy.
Why is it just staring at me?
Bearing down upon me like bricks.
Where is he?
This unseen force I cannot see but I can feel.
Why is there a jet in my room?
Someone or something is screaming in my ear.
Why? How? Who?
What is happening? Who are you? Why are you doing this?
I regain feeling and I can move.
The veil fades, It was only my inner demon coming to play
Why does he only visit when I am stuck between sleep and life?
Why am I so afraid of what is not to be seen? But only when I am vulnerable.
