Sleep Paralysis

I’m awake but cannot move

To the bed I am bound

I begin to panic as I start hearing sounds

I should be alone, no ones supposed to be hear

As I glance into the corner a shadow man appears

My heart is now racing

Only thing on my mind is escaping

I try to scream but nothing come out

The feeling of stitches across my mouth

Is this sleep paralysis or is it real?

If I don’t wake up my soul he’ll steal

This demon, this devil what is to be?

This shadow man is now standing beside me

His face is darkened but his eyes glow red

There must be away to end this dread

First a shortness of breath, and now I cant breathe

I lay the there lifeless as my body starts to seethe

Like a volcano, I finally erupt

The shadow man disappears as my eyes fully adjust

I lay back down with him now imprinted in my mind

Hoping that in this sleep it’ll be peace I find
