Sleep Paralysis

I lay down and closed my eyes to sleep, awakening in a strange, dream-like state. My chest feels heavy; my limbs are lifeless.

Heavy feeling on my chest as if something is perched atop my chest, yet no one or nothing is there. As I bear witness and as I try to stir, to wake up from this dream, this odd paralysis that I feel, yet my body betrays me as I lie there still as stone.

As I try to open my eyes, it feels shut and numb. This tormentor thrives on my helplessness, a specter of my own mind's cruel jest. Hearing and aware of everything around me while I lay there numb and paralyzed.

When I finally opened my eyes to wake up to reality, my heart racing as my chest lightens as if the thing that was there before stepped off. My limbs obey; my chest feels light, and as I rise, shaken from the shadow of the night.

Moulinnn: The reality of abuse is so grim that sometimes it cannot be comprehended easily through words. But this book does a wonderful job of framing the correct narrative - abuse is not love.
