Sleepless Nights, Endless Days
The clock clangs, a mocking reminder of the time that melts away. Shadows stretch and yawn here across the room as I gaze out into the empty night. The world slumbers, but my mind churns like a top. My thoughts collide in a chaotic frenzy, each one a screeching echo of my fear. This endless cycle drains me, eroding my willpower. I yearn for rest, but it evades just as I grasp for it.
Trying Sheep That Never Come
The blank sky above was a canvas for wandering stars, yet the sheep never appeared. I analyzed them in my mind's gaze, each one a fluffy shadow against the night backdrop. But they remained unseen in the realm of dreams.
- Frustration began to invade, as I yearned for the calming rhythm of their groaning.
- Rest eluded me, trapped in a cycle of counting.
The Insomniac's Burden
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 jumble. I toss and turn, drained by the very thing that should bring me renewal: sleep.
- Glimpses creep by, each one a painful reminder of my vulnerability.
- The world beyond sleeps soundly, unaware of my spiritual torment.
- Dawn arrives, bringing with it a heavy sense of defeat and a lingering exhaustion that follows me throughout the day.

It was a hour when fear could easily grip your heart. Some people sought comfort in the darkness, but for others, it was a testing ground where their struggles came to surface.
- They battled his personal troubles, seeking an escape from the darkening world.
- In this courage could be discovered, but it often came at a great price.

- It haunts
- Within your sleep
- An inescapable truth
