It's upon me now, from where, I don't know
I can feel the sensation within,
I stop and I breathe as I try to stay calm
Try to stop it before it begins.
The more that I try, the more that I fall
It strips me of all my control,
I lie in the dark and then suffer alone
Only I can climb out of this hole.
No, please, stop,
Be calm, stay calm.
Relax, do not push that path,
Easier said than done.
The first wave comes, and my soul goes cold
The bone-chilling dread has come through,
It consumes every part of my being at once
Leaving little for me to subdue.
I struggle to breathe without making it worse
My heart beats so fast in my chest,
It doesn't take long for my limbs to go numb
And the tingling takes care of the rest.
No, please, stop,
Nothing is wrong; you are alright.
Breathe, do not let it grow,
Too worn am I to listen.
The second wave comes and my body reacts
It believes that danger is near,
I have no defense and succumb to its will
Too tired and weakened by fear.
My head is so heavy, both inside and out
And I feel like I'm going to die,
I easily beg and then plead for my life
As I shake and the hours go by.
No, please, stop,
Go to sleep; you must sleep.
Try, you must try again,
Eventually I will win.
Finally I sag as my body goes limp
My breath, once so short, has returned,
My body and mind fall to sleep by my force
It's the only resistance I've learned.
I will hope it has passed by the time that I rise
Leaving only my muscles that ache,
But for now I will rest any way that I can
Safe and sound as I dream awake.
