Hallucinations Of A Paralysed Mind

Hallucinations Of A Paralysed Mind

A Poem by Aura Devour
"

I wrote this after having the terrifying experience of suffering from episodes of sleep paralysis. Not up to mark but I tried to paint a picture of what felt so real to me.

"
Can you stop these nightmares
Paralyzing my senses?
Depriving me of the dreams
That decorate a dreamer's eyes.
The monster is in my mind
Inducing doses of fear into my system.
I can feel the adrenaline gushing,
I try to reach out but receive no help.

The monster is supposed to be under the bed.
What is it doing inside my head?
I feel claustrophobic,
Entrapped in my lifeless body.
I feel cold as darkness surrounds me.
Everything appears unreal.
Can anybody hear me ?
I am choking on my own words.

Surreal figures linger around
And I am scared to open my eyes!
I am struggling to breathe,
Fighting against the fear.
As my heart pumps faster
And time passes slower,
Opening my mouth to call out
But I barely manage to whisper.

Can anybody hear me?
I am choking on my own words.
Creating fear in my senses.
I'm hallucinating demons weighing down on me!
Can anybody save me ?
Somebody please?
Cause I am losing control !
I am losing my mind to an illusion.
