I’m Scared To Sleep Tonight

01.12.2019 I’m scared to sleep Tonight scared of what I feel When I fall asleep I’m scared of this thing which I can’t tell if it’s real Or not but when it’s around I feel as if Mount Kilimanjaro is on my chest I can’t scream I can’t move I’m like a mouse bound In a lab I thought the reason to sleep is rest But as for me I’m compromised Every time I see This creature I’m paralyzed Head to toes and the more I try to move The more it tightens Its grip I keep asking myself is it the roof The door or the window it uses to creep in and frightens Me to death I’ve tried to look hard into the dark Thinking I’d see its face but all I see is nothing While this happens Ginger doesn’t even bark Nor come into the bedroom to rescue me from something The whole experience takes less than a minute But it feels like forever The only part that moves are my eyes which I can’t forget How rapidly they move up and down asking myself when will it be over I’m scared to sleep tonight scared of sleep paralysis Scared of what it possesses
