Narcolepsy

Anxiety creeps inside me

 my each bone melts

Something inside me burns

and emptiness welts

my vision blurs and

speech slurs

and I feel Paralyzed

I look for place to

crawl in and shut my thoughts

the world around me

It's too bright and irritates me a lot
Its difficult to breath
suffocation  sweeps through
and I feel Paralyzed   

Daylight strikes in 

yet my eyes want to shut

I want to stay alert

yet there is sleep in my gut

I resist dozing off

as numbness engulfs

and I feel Paralyzed   

 

I feel weary, pale and weak

and fall asleep at vague times

I am perceived as lazy 

   but I am sick and its not a crime  

I feel helpless

as I succumb to sleep

and I feel Void
