Sleepless Nights, Endless Days
The clock whirs, a mocking reminder of the time that drips away. Shadows stretch and yawn across the room as I stare out into the still night. The world dozes, but my mind races like a top. My thoughts jumble in a chaotic storm, each one a grating echo of my worry. This tedious cycle leaves me, hollowing my willpower. I long for sleep, but it evades just as I grasp for it.
Trying Sheep That Never Come
The dark sky above was a canvas for drifting stars, yet the sheep never came. I catalogued them in my mind's eye, each one a fluffy form against the night backdrop. But they remained distant check here in the realm of fantasy.
- Anxiety began to invade, as I desired for the calming rhythm of their groaning.
- Containment eluded me, trapped in a cycle of imagining.
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 unease. My mind races wildly, caught in a relentless cycle of thoughts that spin. I toss and fidget, exhausted by the very thing that should bring me repair: sleep.
- Hours 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 haunts me throughout the day.

- She battled her own darkness, seeking a way from the darkening world.
- Within this midnight struggle hope could be cultivated, but it often came at a great cost.
Fuel For Nightmares
Nightmare fuel, it scorches in the deepest corners of your mind. It's the stuff that makes sleep terrors, manifests as creatures under your bed, and leaves you sweating in the cold light. Some seek it, some dread it. But once you've experienced its icy touch, you can never truly be free.
- It festers
- Within your sleep
- An inescapable truth
