Paralysis
“Don’t move”
I fight against the hands holding me down
Fingers like manacles around my wrists
“Don’t move”
Breath like a warm breeze on my face
Canines glowing white in the dark
“Don’t move”
Eyes flickering like candlelight
Boring into mine intently
“Don’t move”
I can’t
Hovering above me like a bug
Whispering like wind
“Don’t move”
Can’t breathe
My lungs are being crushed
Under an embodiment of fear
“Don’t move”
Can’t break free
All my strength does nothing
“Don’t move”
Trapped between awake and asleep
Paralysis
