You hear the thing causing the trouble and tumult 

The horror that is now upon you at last 

In your bed you see that thing, you cannot move as a result

You awaken from your dream at last


You glance at the window, you see that the night is overcast 

You imagine that thing again and try to move, but you find that it is difficult

You fall asleep once again and midnight had now surpassed 


The thing appears in your dream and you think it’s the occult

You cannot wake nor shake but you are aghast

With the thing, you try to consult

You awaken from your dream at last

This piece is called a roundel, which is a different type of poem. This poem is about sleep paralysis and what it feels like to experience for some people. This poem could be categorized as horror and health as well. I wrote this poem for an English project I had to do.
