Demon from my mind

Staring at you,

Through my blank eyes,

Your morbid presence beside me,

I am paralysed. 

You aren't as scary,

As people perceive you to be,

After all, you come from my mind,

You're the demons inside of me. 

Oddly comforting,

Even though you crave malevolence,

I know you aren't real,

The distinction is benevolent. 

You can't harm me,

No matter how heavy your weight is,

Yet I'm petrified,

For you are in my sleep paralysis.
