No Slap Down Necessary
Let's all live in our own space All existing together Shining in our own brightness. No slap down necessary.
I see it everywhere
The slap down.
For some reason
People can't feel elevated
Unless they tear someone else down.
Why is that?
The slap down is unnecessary
Just sparkle and shine
Show the world what you're made of
But keep other people out of your mouth.
We all have a space in this world.
Look up at the stars.
They are all there
Each shining brightly
No competition
No bitterness
No complaint
No envy
No slap down necessary.
Just a beautiful sky
Full of shining stars
Each one in its own space
All there existing together
No slap down necessary.
Let's all live in our own space
All existing together
Shining in our own brightness.
No slap down necessary.
You simply are not needed
Not today or any day
Slap down be on your way.
You are obsolete.
Leave us to become a world of peace.
No slap down necessary

Something visited at night
I used to experience disturbing paranormal events as a teenager, but thankfully they stopped as I grew older. When I was around 20 years old, I started having vivid nightmares and episodes of sleep paralysis when sleeping in my bedroom at home. I would wake up unable to move, feeling a heavy pressure on my chest, and see terrifying visions of shadowy figures approaching me. My parents told me it was just sleep paralysis, but it kept happening frequently and felt very real.
