(sleep paralysis)
Can’t push it off, can’t make it stop
I’m petrified as stone
Cannot move a single muscle
Lips zipped - dry as bone
Its foul face is thrust in mine
An insufferable weight bears down
Crushes the breath from my chest
Silent screams resound
Pressure lifts like a jack-in-the-box
The threat it may be gone
I gulp for air, I look around
Anxiety lingers on
