Sleepless Nights, Endless Days
The clock ticks, a mocking reminder of the time that flees away. Shadows stretch and yawn across the room as I stare out into the vacant night. The world rests, but my mind spins like a hamster. My thoughts jumble in a chaotic storm, each one a screeching echo of my anxiety. This endless cycle drains me, hollowing my willpower. I long for rest, but it eludes just as I grasp for it.
Staring at Sheep That Never Come
The empty sky above was a canvas for flitting stars, yet the sheep never arrived. I analyzed them in my mind's eye, each one a fluffy silhouette against the night backdrop. But they remained distant in the realm of dreams.
- Anxiety began to crawl, as I longed for the calming rhythm of their bleating.
- Rest eluded me, trapped in a cycle of speculating.
Sleepless Nightmares
Sleep, once a comforting sanctuary, eludes me like a phantom. Each night, the darkness descends, bringing with it not tranquility, but a mounting fear. My mind races frantically, caught in a relentless cycle of thoughts that unravel. I toss and turn, exhausted by the very thing that should bring me repair: sleep.
- Hours creep by, each one a painful reminder of my frailty.
- The world beyond sleeps soundly, unaware of my internal torment.
- Dawn arrives, bringing with it a heavy sense of defeat and a prolonged exhaustion that haunts me throughout the day.

- She faced his own troubles, seeking a way from the night's grip.
- Throughout this , strength could be cultivated, but it often came at a heavy cost.
Source of Dread
Nightmare fuel, it consumes in worst sleeping the deepest haunts of your mind. It's the stuff that makes sleep disturbances, manifests as shadows under your bed, and leaves you shaking in the cold light. Some desire it, some dread it. But once you've experienced its scorching touch, you can never truly be unaffected.
- It lingers
- Beneath your eyelids
- A constant reminder
