Unforgettable nights I've had, memories of suffocating
Not just memories, but experiences that nobody believed, it was frustrating
The details are still vivid, each time I explain it, I relive it
A tangible, yet invisible force of anger, evil and livid
This is the part where we disconnect if this is something you can't relate to
This has happened to me since childhood, and I'm not here to debate you
But I will say they love to bait me
There could be one, maybe awaits three
They catch me off guard in the quiet lone nights
Before or after I fall asleep's when they wake me
The temperatures that can numb, capsulated me in a net
The heavy weight upon my chest had increased with every fret
No matter how exhausted I was, I wasn't able to forget
How they made me feel in those moments, me laying down was my biggest regret
The clutching of my throat
My head locked into its place
My neck rigid and unmoving
Claustrophobic and needing space
So much blurriness when I focused
So much darkness when my eyes raced
It wasn't going to let me leave
Until my soul it had erased
I'll have to stop right here, it's a touchy subject we're pokin'
This topic is quite serious, though you may believe I'm jokin'
I'll continue soon, just need some time, pondering my own analysis
Think what you want, this is no front, it's definitely not sleep paralysis
Thanks for reading this real life experience poem in its entirety. I plan to cover this topic over a series of poems. I hope you took something from it. Feel free to drop a comment or a thought below.
