Sleep Paralysis

The light went out.
And I went out.
I was fast asleep.
And lost in peaceful dreams.
But my dreams had ended.
It was time to wake up.
But I could not move!
After my dreams had ended
my family shout my name.
I wanted to answer.
But I could not speak!
The experience was scary.
It felt as though only my mind was working.
I tried to fight the fright.
And then I relaxed.
I eventually woke up!
The ancient said a spirit sat on me so steady.
But it felt as though my soul had left already.
