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 stare out into the still night. The world slumbers, but my mind spins like a hamster. My thoughts jumble in a chaotic storm, each one a whispered echo of my worry. This ageless cycle leaves me, sapping my energy. I yearn for tranquility, but it evades just as I touch for it.
Trying Sheep That Never Come

The Insomniac's Burden

- Glimpses creep by, each one a painful reminder of my helplessness.
- The world beyond sleeps soundly, unaware of my internal torment.
- Dawn arrives, bringing with it a heavy sense of defeat and a prolonged exhaustion that afflicts me throughout the day.

It was a moment when anxiety could easily grip your heart. Some people found solace in the darkness, but for others, it was a arena where their inner demons came to surface.
