Sleepless Nights, Endless Days
The clock ticks, a mocking reminder of the time that melts away. Darknesss stretch and yawn across the room as I stare out into the vacant night. The world dozes, but my mind races like a top. My thoughts collide in a chaotic dance, each one a screeching echo of my fear. This ageless cycle drains me, sapping my willpower. I yearn for rest, but it fades just as I touch for it.
Trying Sheep That Never Come
The dark sky above was a canvas for wandering stars, yet the sheep never arrived. I counted them in my mind's gaze, each one a fluffy shadow against the velvet backdrop. But they remained unseen in the realm of dreams.
- Disappointment began to creep, as I desired for the calming rhythm of their groaning.
- Sleep eluded me, trapped in a cycle of counting.
The Insomniac's Burden

- Hours creep by, each one a painful reminder of my vulnerability.
- The world around sleeps soundly, unaware of my spiritual torment.
- Light arrives, bringing with it a heavy sense of defeat and a persistent exhaustion that follows me throughout the day.

- She faced their inner troubles, seeking a way from the night's grip.
- In this journey, courage could be discovered, but it often came at a significant price.
Fuel of Nightmares
Nightmare fuel, it scorches in the deepest haunts of your mind. It's the stuff that breeds sleep paralysis, blooms as phantoms under your bed, and leaves you shaking in the cold morning. Some crave it, some fear it. But once you've felt its scorching touch, you can never truly be free.
- It haunts
- Beneath your eyelids
- A constant reminder
