Sleepless Nights, Endless Days

The clock whirs, 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 rests, but my mind churns like a top. My thoughts tangled in a chaotic frenzy, each one a whispered echo of my fear. This endless cycle leaves me, hollowing my energy. I crave for tranquility, but it fades just as I touch for it.

Staring at Sheep That Never Come

My mind races frantically, trapped in a relentless cycle of thoughts that unravel. I toss and struggle, depleted by the very thing that should bring me comfort: sleep.

• Morning arrives, bringing with it a heavy sense of defeat and a lingering exhaustion that follows me throughout the day.

Nightmare fuel, it burns in the deepest crevices of your mind. It's the stuff that breeds sleep paralysis, explodes as shadows under your bed, and leaves you trembling in the cold dawn. Some desire it, some fear it. But once you've experienced its icy touch, you can never truly be unaffected.

• It haunts
• Within your sleep
• A constant reminder
