MHA Poem 12: Sleep Paralysis

SLEEP PARALYSIS

madness is somewhere between C H A O S and having a D R E A M – R.M. Drake

i

cannot breathe

i cannot move

i cannot see anything

i cannot breathe at all

my heart is racing so fast

i think i might be dying tonight

there are voices patronizing me from the shadows

they are telling me to ignore them

they don’t want me to leave

they need me to panic

they are hurting me

with their words

and their

tricks.
