Sleepless Nights, Endless Days
The clock ticks, a mocking reminder of the time that flees away. Gloom stretch and yawn across the room as I glint out into the vacant night. The world rests, but my mind races like a top. My thoughts tangled in a chaotic frenzy, each one a screeching echo of my fear. This endless cycle leaves me, sapping my energy. I yearn for sleep, but it evades just as I reach for it.
Trying Sheep That Never Come

- Disappointment began to invade, as I longed for the calming rhythm of their baaing.
- Sleep eluded me, trapped in a cycle of imagining.
The Insomniac's Burden

My mind races feverishly, caught in a relentless cycle of thoughts that spin. I toss and fidget, depleted by the very thing that should bring me repair: sleep.

- The world outside sleeps soundly, unaware of my spiritual torment.
- Dawn arrives, bringing with it a heavy sense of defeat and a lingering exhaustion that haunts me throughout the day.

It was a hour when anxiety could easily grip your heart. Many people felt peace in the darkness, but for others, it was a testing ground where their struggles came to light.
- She faced his inner problems, seeking a way from the night's grip.

Nightmare fuel, it consumes in the deepest crevices of your mind. It's the stuff that makes sleep terrors, manifests as creatures under your bed, and leaves you trembling in the cold dawn. Some seek it, some dread it. But once you've felt its scorching touch, you can never truly be untouched.
- It festers
- In your dreams
- An inescapable truth
