Sleepless Nights, Endless Days
The clock whirs, a mocking reminder of the time that flees away. Darknesss stretch and yawn across the room as I gaze out into the vacant night. The world slumbers, but my mind churns like a hamster. My thoughts jumble in a chaotic dance, each one a screeching echo of my worry. This ageless cycle leaves me, sapping my energy. I yearn for rest, but it evades just as I grasp for it.
Staring at Sheep That Never Come
The empty sky above was a canvas for wandering stars, yet the sheep never came. I counted them in my mind's vision, each one a fluffy form against the indigo backdrop. But they remained distant in the realm of fantasy.
- Anxiety began to invade, as I yearned for the calming rhythm of their groaning.
- Sleep eluded me, trapped in a cycle of counting.
Sleepless Nightmares
Sleep, once a comforting sanctuary, now flees me like a phantom. Each night, the darkness descends, bringing with it not tranquility, but a mounting unease. My mind races feverishly, caught in a relentless cycle of thoughts that unravel. I toss and turn, depleted by the very thing that should bring me repair: sleep.
- Glimpses creep by, each one a painful reminder of my vulnerability.
- The world outside sleeps soundly, unaware of my spiritual torment.
- Dawn arrives, bringing with it a heavy sense of defeat and a prolonged exhaustion that afflicts me throughout the day.

It was a hour when trepidation could easily grip your heart. Many people sought comfort in the darkness, but for others, it was a arena where their inner demons came to life.
- He faced her own troubles, seeking a way from the suffocating night.
- In this midnight struggle courage could be discovered, but it often came at a great cost.
Fuel From Dread
Nightmare fuel, it scorches in the deepest corners of your mind. It's the stuff that breeds sleep paralysis, blooms as phantoms under your bed, and leaves you trembling in the cold dawn. Some seek it, some abhor it. But once you've tasted its bitter touch, you can never truly be unaffected.
- It haunts
- Beneath your eyelids
- A haunting echo
