Sleep Paralysis

It was three in the AM, 

I lay wide awake, 

But stiff…. 

I feel a twitch shock my body,
Just like Zander, I screamed no twitch, 

In the darkness I feel the presence of a witch. 

I pulled out my switch, 

But couldn't move, 

Sleep paralysis feels like death, 


From peaceful sleep, 

To the depths of darkness. 

Perception is key. 

Do not run or flee, 

Darkness will take your soul 

With one single sweep. 


Gaining the ability to move,

But not to disturb the man in black,

There is nothing to do, 

But except the fact, 

That your perception is wack.
