As I lay in bed

A dream envelopes my bones

And I am in a vertical reality

But there is not the goggles

Instead I have it around me all over

As if in a trance

She dances

But I see her she doesn’t look like a healthy woman

She looks like a skeleton that is belly dancing

Is this one of my night terrors

Or is this the end of it all! What I will not

See is her face

As her face was covered with

Hair and only that

She wears a belly dancers outfit

But she seems of corrosion

What is that smell

Acid

But I am not going to find out

So I try to wake myself up

But the banshee

Keeps coming closer and closer

Until she reveals her face which looks like

Death warmed over and

She lets out the scream

A scream so horrific it ruptures your organs

A she sucks your soul from you body

Leaving an empty shell

I did know about this banshee I never....

I have had heard of the shadow people and sleep paralysis

And I when is this what I am going through

I scream Susie wake up

From christs sake wake up!

But I don’t hear myself scream

In my dream

I don’t stir nor make a sound

Who will miss me

If I should not wake

The belly dancers says no one

I am filled with dread

I had a boyfriend

A life

Friends who cared about me

But here I was fighting for my life

Fighting against the ultimate evil,

Death! As I try to thrash

I succeeded in thrashing in my sleep

I can feel the breath coming back into me

And I thrash until I am spat out of the dream

When I wake up I am

In a cloud sweat!

As I am shaking like a leave

In the autumn

What the fuck just happened was what I think is going to happen

On in my head

My first near death experience

But it will

Not be my last

For I fear the night now

I dread going to sleep

As I fear that she will will

Pop up from the abyss and try to take my soul

As I went to put on my Pajamas I try not to think not to think about this shit show

That I call my sleep!

Alas it is wispy washy

At the best of times and then there is the

Fucking belly dancer from hell

I am so worried about

The idea of sleep especially

REM sleep terrified me

But as soon as I lay in bed

I fall to sleep like a bag of bricks

Now what I wanted

As I find this skeleton figure

Dancing towards me and

I am paralyzed

Her screaming my name

I can feel my insides burst and rupture at the sound of

The nest will be my soul being sucked out of my body

Leaving me as a shell of a person of who I am

But I want to know why this emaciated demon

Keeps coming to me in my most hideous

Of nightmares

Threatening me

With the worst of the torture that both man

And spirit world will have to offer me

I feel the cold sweet coming on

But I say this very much so that

This is a fallacy

Something that my stress must of

Created

Like a poltergeist

But do they not talk

This is certainly not a poltergeist

That is a demon from another dimension

A hell realm

But little did I know that was just the beginning of my suffering

As soon I as find out who this is I will cast them

Back the blasts that they came from

She twirls and swirls

And slowly and methodically

Closer to me

As I find that this will not end well for me she says

Something completely disturbing....

“My sweet child!”

This could. It be my mother of birth

She died of hepatitis so long ago

But if this is here....

She had become the personification of

Of death it’s self

O death

Would you spare me for another year! I plead for

My life!

I start thrashing and the shits come off my bed

And I get even colder

Then I wake up

Won’t you spare me over til another year

Well what is this that I can’t see

With ice cold hands takin’ hold of me

Well I am death, none can excel

I’ll open the door to heaven or hell

Whoa, death someone would pray

Could you wait to call me another day

The children prayed, the preacher preached

Time and mercy is out of your reach

I’ll fix your feet til you cant walk

I’ll lock your jaw til you cant talk

I’ll close your eyes so you can’t see

This very hour, come and go with me

I’m death I come to take the soul

Leave the body and leave it cold

To draw up the flesh off of the frame

Dirt and worm both have a claim

O, Death

O, Death

Won’t you spare me over til another year

My mother came to my bed

Placed a cold towel upon my head

My head is warm my feet are cold

Death is a-movin upon my soul

Oh, death how you’re treatin’ me

You’ve close my eyes so I can’t see

Well you’re hurtin’ my body

You make me cold

You run my life right outta my soul

Oh death please consider my age

Please don’t take me at this stage

My wealth is all at your command

If you will move your icy hand

Oh the young, the rich or poor

Hunger like me you know

No wealth, no ruin, no silver no gold

Nothing satisfies me but your soul

O, death

O, death

Wont you spare me over til another year

Wont you spare me over til another year

Wont you spare me over til another year

I sing as I tried to wake my self up form this horrible night terror

And she comes closer and closer

I see that the belly dancer

Bares a striking resemblance

Not unlike my own

This terrible

Is this my birth mother coming to collect my soul

I will never no even though

Alas I say her face

She looked like me

Is that an indication of the relation I might have of her

But as I see you cannot do DNA on a ghost

But then she says it again

In Romanian

“Come my sweet child!”

That is that beyond the pale

Then I shot of out bed

Like bullet out of a pistol

I find that I am having hot and could sweats

That I can not under stand

I am healthy so

What the fuck

As she really come to claim my soul

But I will not be too sure

I fear that she will come back

Again tonight to finish me off

I am paralyzed that I might died at age 25

I am paranoid at the thought of sleep

But then I over think

To much

That night as I sleep,

I see her again screaming for

My soul

She was saying

That I will have a taste of my fate

But I try to run but I can not I am strapped to my bed by rotting vines

What ever shell I do!?
