It's hard to breath

It's hard to see

I am paralyzed to my bed

No matter what I do

Movement is not an option

I can only dart my gaze as I please

As my eyes adjust

The only thing I feel is

Fear

I can not say why though

It is a type of fear that can only be

Experienced

It can't be simply told

That's when I see them

The tall dark figures in my room

I am surrounded

And all I can do is sit and wait

Wait until this fear is gone

Wait until this hell-like reality is over

I close my eyes

Wishing to escape the terror

And when I wake up again it is gone

But no matter how many times it happens

You never can get used to it

But remember it's okay

It's not real

you are safe

Now ,

Get into bed
And
Close your eyes

They wish to see you again tonight
