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 rests, but my mind races like a dervish. My thoughts tangled in a chaotic storm, each one a grating echo of my worry. This tedious cycle exhausts me, hollowing my energy. I long for rest, but it fades just as I touch for it.
Trying Sheep That Never Come
The dark sky above was a canvas for wandering stars, yet the sheep never arrived. I analyzed them in my mind's gaze, each one a fluffy shadow against the night backdrop. But they remained distant in the realm of fantasy.

The Insomniac's Burden
Sleep, once a comforting sanctuary, eludes me like a phantom. Each night, the darkness descends, bringing with it not rest, but a mounting fear. My mind races frantically, held captive in a relentless cycle of thoughts that jumble. I toss and struggle, depleted by the very thing that should bring me comfort: sleep.
- Minutes creep by, each one a painful reminder of my helplessness.
- The world outside sleeps soundly, unaware of my spiritual torment.
- Morning arrives, bringing with it a heavy sense of defeat and a prolonged exhaustion that afflicts me throughout the day.
A Battle Through Darkness
The moon hung low in the sky, casting long shadows across the silent landscape. A piercing wind howled through the trees, bringing with it the scent of autumn leaves. It was a moment when anxiety could easily grip your heart. Few people felt peace in the darkness, but for others, it was a arena where their inner demons came to light.

- It lingers
- Within your sleep
- An inescapable truth
