Sleep Paralysis.

In my dreams, my hopeless dreams.
My brain's awaken, my body sleeping.
Though I feel my body aching,
the lights are flicking, sanity breaking.

In the corner, a hateful ghoul.
In my bed a restless cool.
Dreading nightmares my head creates,
though my brain is still awake.

There is no fending life,
for there is no life at stake.
Sanity broken, heart awake.
There's no escaping sleepless fate.

There is no sleeping in tonight,
for I already am, asleep tonight.
