This is a poem I wrote after a terrifying episode of sleep paralysis...a symptom of narcolepsy. It's where you wake up on the brink of falling asleep and you cannot move. Only your eyeballs can move... you're wide awake. You cannot scream, and attempts to move prove painful and futile. You can't feel the air passing through you... so you begin to hyperventilate. This is just one syptom of Narcolepsy.
