Silhouette

description of my experience with sleep paralysis. also my second try at a non-rhyming poem. and my latest work

Last night I fought for my life

 

There she was

Above me, holding me

Like she used to…

 

Last night I fought for my life

 

She just stared

 Her eyes piercing

Her face was never there

 

Last night I fought for my life

 

My heart pounding

My breath vacant

My voice silent

 

Last night I fought for my life

 

She remained motionless

Yet drew closer

Reaching without hands

 

Last night I fought for my life

 

With the light on its worse

She clung to the corners

She thrives in the darkness

 

Tonight I will fight for my life

 

While my body sleeps

She will come for me

As she always has
