Sleepless Nights, Endless Days
The clock whirs, a mocking reminder of the time that flees away. Gloom stretch and yawn across the room as I glint out into the still night. The world rests, but my mind churns like a dervish. My thoughts tangled in a chaotic storm, each one a screeching echo of my fear. This tedious cycle leaves me, eroding my strength. I long for sleep, but it eludes just as I reach for it.
Trying Sheep That Never Come

- Disappointment began to invade, 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, eludes me like a phantom. Each night, the darkness descends, bringing with it not peace, but a mounting anxiety. My mind races wildly, held captive in a relentless cycle of thoughts that unravel. I toss and fidget, depleted by the very thing that should bring me renewal: sleep.
- Minutes creep by, each one a painful reminder of my helplessness.
- The world beyond sleeps soundly, unaware of my mental torment.
- Dawn arrives, bringing with it a heavy sense of defeat and a lingering exhaustion that follows me throughout the day.
Wrestling With the Night

It was a time when trepidation could easily consume your mind. Few people sought comfort in the darkness, but for others, it was a arena where their struggles came to surface.
- He faced their own darkness, seeking relief from the suffocating night.
- Throughout this journey, hope could be found, but it often came at a significant toll.

- It lingers
- Within your sleep
- A haunting echo
