Sleepless Nights, Endless Days
The clock whirs, a mocking reminder of the time that melts away. Gloom stretch and yawn across the room as I gaze out into the still night. The world dozes, but my mind races like a dervish. My thoughts jumble in a chaotic storm, each one a screeching echo of my fear. This endless cycle drains me, hollowing my energy. I yearn for sleep, but it fades just as I reach for it.
Trying Sheep That Never Come
The blank sky above was a canvas for flitting stars, yet the sheep never came. I catalogued them in my mind's vision, each one a fluffy shadow against the velvet backdrop. But they remained distant in the realm of imagination.
- Frustration began to creep, as I longed for the calming rhythm of their baaing.

The Insomniac's Burden
Sleep, once a comforting sanctuary, evades me like a phantom. Each night, the darkness descends, bringing with it not tranquility, but a mounting fear.

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

It was a time when trepidation could easily take hold. Few people sought comfort in the darkness, but for others, it was a arena where their fears came to life.

Nightmare fuel, it consumes in the deepest corners of your mind. It's the stuff that makes sleep disturbances, manifests as creatures under your bed, and leaves you sweating in the cold dawn. Some crave it, some dread it. But once you've tasted its bitter touch, you can more info never truly be free.
- It lingers
- In your dreams
- A constant reminder
