Sleep Paralysis

When you wake up from a fucked up dream

But realize you can't move

You lay there hearing your door slam shut and opening

But you know it's not doing that

You keep your eyes shut because you know if you open them you'll see something

You'll start hallucinating

You try to make yourself move

But it's physically impossible

So you lay there not moving, eyes squeezed shut

Trying to block out any sound

Trying to move your body

Till suddenly you jump up

Every feeling comes back to you

You move your body

You stop hearing things

And you are in the clear

Taking a deep breath

Hoping to never encounter that feeling again

I hate sleep paralysis
