Sleep paralyzes my body my temperature drops silently innocent sleep covers me completely then suddenly I'm aware of my conscious memory and my immediate surroundings and then I realize I can not see then fear creeps into me I cannot awaken cant talk cant move cant open my eyes or hold the breath I've just now taken and nothing was left to be said (so dont laugh) wash away the bloodstains with a bandage soaked in gasoline salt water suffering tears time release deviation stop the flow the fresh package holds the stale infection below exhale inhale the only way i know i'm not dead then i could hear my heartbeat and the voices inside my head
