Sleepless Nights, Endless Days
The clock ticks, a mocking reminder of the time that melts away. Shadows stretch and yawn across the room as I gaze out into the still night. The world slumbers, but my mind churns like a top. My thoughts here jumble in a chaotic frenzy, each one a grating echo of my fear. This ageless cycle drains me, hollowing my strength. I yearn for sleep, but it fades just as I grasp for it.
Staring at Sheep That Never Come
The blank sky above was a canvas for wandering stars, yet the sheep never arrived. I analyzed them in my mind's vision, each one a fluffy shadow against the night backdrop. But they remained unseen in the realm of imagination.
- Anxiety began to creep, as I longed for the calming rhythm of their baaing.
- Containment eluded me, trapped in a cycle of counting.
Insomnia's Grip
Sleep, once a comforting sanctuary, eludes me like a phantom. Each night, the darkness descends, bringing with it not rest, but a mounting unease. My mind races wildly, trapped in a relentless cycle of thoughts that spin. I toss and turn, exhausted by the very thing that should bring me repair: sleep.
- Minutes creep by, each one a painful reminder of my helplessness.
- The world beyond sleeps soundly, unaware of my spiritual torment.
- Morning arrives, bringing with it a heavy sense of defeat and a lingering exhaustion that follows me throughout the day.

- Throughout this , hope could be cultivated, but it often came at a significant cost.
Source of Terror
Nightmare fuel, it consumes in the deepest haunts of your mind. It's the stuff that generates sleep paralysis, blooms as creatures under your bed, and leaves you sweating in the cold morning. Some crave it, some abhor it. But once you've experienced its scorching touch, you can never truly be free.
- It festers
- Beneath your eyelids
- An inescapable truth
