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 gaze out into the empty night. The world dozes, but my mind churns like a dervish. My thoughts collide in a chaotic dance, each one a whispered echo of my anxiety. This ageless cycle exhausts me, eroding my willpower. I crave for rest, but it eludes just as I reach for it.
Staring at Sheep That Never Come
The empty sky above was a canvas for drifting stars, yet the sheep never arrived. I counted them in my mind's vision, each one a fluffy shadow against the velvet backdrop. But they remained lost in the realm of imagination.
- Disappointment began to crawl, as I yearned for the calming rhythm of their baaing.
- Rest eluded me, trapped in a cycle of speculating.
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 unease. My mind races frantically, held captive in a relentless cycle of thoughts that jumble. I toss and fidget, depleted by the very thing that should bring me comfort: sleep.
- Hours creep by, each one a painful reminder of my vulnerability.
- The world around sleeps soundly, unaware of my mental torment.
- Morning arrives, bringing with it a heavy sense of defeat and a persistent exhaustion that follows me throughout the day.
Wrestling With the Night
The moon hung low in the sky, casting long shapes across the silent landscape. A bitter wind whispered through the trees, bringing with it the scent of autumn leaves. It was a time when anxiety could easily grip your heart. Few people felt peace in the darkness, but for others, it was a battleground where their inner demons came to light.

- In this midnight struggle hope could be found, but it often came at a great price.
Energy For Nightmares
Nightmare fuel, it scorches in the deepest crevices of your mind. It's the stuff that breeds sleep disturbances, blooms as shadows under your bed, and leaves you sweating in the cold morning. Some desire it, some fear it. But once you've felt its icy touch, you here can never truly be unaffected.
- It lingers
- Within your sleep
- A constant reminder
