Sleepless Nights, Endless Days
The clock whirs, a mocking reminder of the time that drips away. Gloom stretch and yawn across the room as I stare out into the vacant night. The world rests, but my mind races like a dervish. My thoughts jumble in a chaotic storm, each one a screeching echo of my worry. This tedious cycle exhausts me, eroding my strength. I long for tranquility, but it fades just as I reach for check here it.
Trying Sheep That Never Come
The empty 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 form against the night backdrop. But they remained unseen in the realm of fantasy.
- Disappointment began to crawl, as I yearned for the calming rhythm of their groaning.
- Containment eluded me, trapped in a cycle of imagining.
Sleepless Nightmares

- Throughout this hope could be cultivated, but it often came at a significant price.
Energy of Dread
Nightmare fuel, it scorches in the deepest corners of your mind. It's the stuff that makes sleep disturbances, explodes as creatures under your bed, and leaves you sweating in the cold morning. Some seek it, some dread it. But once you've felt its bitter touch, you can never truly be untouched.
- It lingers
- In your dreams
- A constant reminder
