random nothing's

parasomnia

"wake up, this is
a bad dream."
this is what I tell myself
but the nightmare really begins
when I realize my mind is awake
but my body is paralyzed
I scream and thrash,
trying to escape my mind
but my body won't move,
my voice won't be heard.
when I finally wake up
I can't decide
if I want to cry
or choke on the stale air in this room...
