Sleepless Nights, Endless Days
The clock clangs, a mocking reminder of the time that drips away. Darknesss stretch and yawn across the room as I stare out into the vacant night. The world slumbers, but my mind races like a top. My thoughts jumble in a chaotic frenzy, each one a whispered echo of my worry. This tedious cycle exhausts me, hollowing my strength. I yearn for tranquility, but it evades just as I grasp for it.
Staring at Sheep That Never Come
The dark sky above was a canvas for drifting stars, yet the sheep never appeared. I catalogued them in my mind's eye, each one a fluffy shadow against the velvet backdrop. But they remained unseen in the realm of dreams.
- Disappointment began to creep, as I yearned for the calming rhythm of their baaing.
- Rest eluded me, trapped in a cycle of speculating.
The Insomniac's Burden
Sleep, once a comforting sanctuary, now flees me like a phantom. Each night, the darkness descends, bringing with it not rest, but a mounting fear.

- Glimpses creep by, each one a painful reminder of my frailty.
- The world beyond sleeps soundly, unaware of my spiritual torment.
- Morning arrives, bringing with it a heavy sense of defeat and a persistent exhaustion that follows me throughout the day.

It was a moment when trepidation could easily take hold. Few people felt peace in the darkness, but for others, it was a arena where their fears came to light.

- Throughout this journey, strength could be discovered, but it often came at a significant price.
Energy From Nightmares

- It haunts
- Beneath your eyelids
- A haunting echo
