I have been up since one,
yes, one in the morning.
I couldn’t sleep at all,
my mind sent a warning.

I went to bed at ten,
much like I normally do.
I wouldn’t have done it,
knowing what I would go through.

It was like a sort of presence,
lingering over my bed.
I didn’t hear it move,
But knew it was over my head.

Yanking the covers over me,
I tried hard to shut it out.
Although it was quite meaningless,
It was there without a doubt.
I made a short poem about what I went through last night. I'm running on two and a half hours of sleep :'D

Sleep paralysis?
You can't move but you feel an 'evil' presence

Nice poem! It is well written!
