Sleepless Nights, Endless Days
The clock whirs, a mocking reminder of the time that drips away. Darknesss stretch and yawn across the room as I glint out into the vacant night. The world dozes, but my mind races like a dervish. My thoughts tangled in a chaotic storm, each one a screeching echo of my fear. This ageless cycle drains me, hollowing my strength. I long for rest, but it evades just as I touch for it.
Staring at Sheep That Never Come
The blank sky above was a canvas for flitting stars, yet the sheep never appeared. I catalogued them in my mind's gaze, each one a fluffy form against the night backdrop. But they remained lost in the realm of fantasy.
- Anxiety began to crawl, as I desired for the calming rhythm of their groaning.
- Containment eluded me, trapped in a cycle of imagining.
Insomnia's Grip
Sleep, once a comforting sanctuary, now flees me like a phantom. Each night, the darkness descends, bringing with it not peace, but a mounting anxiety.

- Dawn arrives, bringing with it a heavy sense of defeat and a lingering exhaustion that afflicts me throughout the day.

It was a hour when fear could easily take hold. Few people felt peace in the darkness, but for others, it was a arena where their inner demons came to light.
- She faced their inner troubles, seeking an escape from the suffocating night.
- Within this journey, strength could be cultivated, but it often came at a great toll.
Energy From Nightmares
Nightmare fuel, it scorches in the deepest corners of your mind. It's the stuff that makes sleep disturbances, blooms as creatures under your bed, and leaves you sweating in the cold dawn. Some seek it, some abhor it. But once you've tasted its scorching touch, you can never truly be free.
- It festers
- In your dreams
- A constant reminder
