Sleepless Nights, Endless Days
The clock whirs, 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 spins like a dervish. My thoughts tangled in a chaotic dance, each one a whispered echo of my anxiety. This endless cycle leaves me, eroding my energy. I yearn for rest, but it eludes just as I reach for it.
Trying Sheep That Never Come
The empty sky above was a canvas for wandering stars, yet the sheep never appeared. I catalogued them in my mind's gaze, each one a fluffy shadow against the night backdrop. But they remained unseen in the realm of dreams.
- Anxiety began to creep, 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, now flees me like a phantom. Each night, the darkness descends, bringing with it not tranquility, but a mounting fear. My mind races feverishly, held captive in a relentless cycle of thoughts that unravel. I toss and turn, depleted by the very thing that should bring me comfort: sleep.
- Glimpses 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 persistent exhaustion that haunts me throughout the day.

- They battled their inner problems, seeking an escape from the suffocating night.
- Within this , hope could be found, but it often came at a heavy toll.
Energy of Nightmares
Nightmare fuel, it burns in the deepest corners of your mind. It's the stuff that breeds sleep disturbances, manifests as shadows under your bed, and leaves you sweating in the cold dawn. Some seek it, some dread it. But once you've tasted its icy touch, you can never truly be unaffected.
- It haunts
- Within your sleep
- A haunting echo
