Sleepless Nights, Endless Days
The clock clangs, a mocking reminder of the time that drips away. Darknesss stretch and yawn across the room as I gaze out into the still night. The world dozes, but my mind spins like a dervish. My thoughts jumble in a chaotic dance, each one a whispered echo of my worry. This endless cycle leaves me, hollowing my willpower. I yearn for sleep, but it evades just as I touch for it.
Gazing upon Sheep That Never Come
The empty sky above was a canvas for drifting stars, yet the sheep never arrived. I catalogued them in my mind's eye, each one a fluffy silhouette against the velvet backdrop. But they remained unseen in the realm of imagination.
- Anxiety began to crawl, as I yearned for the calming rhythm of their groaning.
- Sleep eluded me, trapped in a cycle of imagining.
The Insomniac's Burden
Sleep, once a comforting sanctuary, now flees read more me like a phantom. Each night, the darkness descends, bringing with it not tranquility, but a mounting anxiety. My mind races frantically, held captive in a relentless cycle of thoughts that jumble. I toss and fidget, exhausted by the very thing that should bring me comfort: sleep.
- Minutes creep by, each one a painful reminder of my helplessness.
- The world outside sleeps soundly, unaware of my spiritual torment.
- Morning arrives, bringing with it a heavy sense of defeat and a prolonged exhaustion that afflicts me throughout the day.
The Midnight Struggle

It was a hour when trepidation could easily consume your mind. Some people found solace in the darkness, but for others, it was a arena where their struggles came to life.
- She faced her inner troubles, seeking a way from the suffocating night.
- In this , hope could be discovered, but it often came at a heavy cost.
Source For Nightmares
Nightmare fuel, it scorches in the deepest crevices of your mind. It's the stuff that generates sleep terrors, explodes as phantoms under your bed, and leaves you sweating in the cold morning. Some desire it, some dread it. But once you've experienced its scorching touch, you can never truly be free.
- It lingers
- Beneath your eyelids
- A haunting echo
