Parkinson's Bedtime Poem by douglas lewis

Parkinson's Bedtime



At night I am so stiff
It's like being encased in concrete.
All my limbs immobile.
Then come the
Claustrophobic thoughts
With the weight of the darkness.
It becomes a labour to breathe.
It stifles my screams.

sounds like a condition that could suffocate oneself if it were not expressed as poetry: inertia as nocturnal state- scary
