Sleepless Nights, Endless Days
The clock whirs, a mocking reminder of the time that drips away. Darknesss stretch and yawn across the room as I glint out into the still night. The world slumbers, but my mind races like a top. My thoughts tangled in a chaotic frenzy, each one a screeching echo of my fear. This endless cycle leaves me, hollowing my willpower. I crave for sleep, but it evades just as I touch for it.
Gazing upon Sheep That Never Come
The blank sky above was a canvas for wandering stars, yet the sheep never arrived. I counted them in my mind's eye, each one a fluffy silhouette against the indigo backdrop. But they remained unseen in the realm of fantasy.
- Frustration began to crawl, as I desired for the calming rhythm of their bleating.

The Insomniac's Burden

- Morning arrives, bringing with it a heavy sense of defeat and a lingering exhaustion that haunts me throughout the day.
The Midnight Struggle

- She confronting their inner problems, seeking an escape from the suffocating night.
- Throughout this midnight struggle strength could be discovered, but it often came at a heavy toll.
Energy of Terror
Nightmare fuel, it consumes in the deepest corners of your mind. It's the stuff that makes sleep terrors, manifests as shadows under your bed, and leaves you sweating in the cold morning. Some crave it, some fear it. But once you've tasted here its icy touch, you can never truly be untouched.
- It festers
- Within your sleep
- A constant reminder
