Sleepless Nights, Endless Days
The clock ticks, a mocking reminder of the time that drips away. Darknesss stretch and yawn across the room as I glint out into the vacant night. The world rests, but my mind churns like a dervish. My thoughts collide in a chaotic frenzy, each one a grating echo of my anxiety. This endless cycle drains me, hollowing my energy. I yearn for sleep, but it fades just as I reach for it.
Gazing upon Sheep That Never Come
The dark sky above was a canvas for wandering stars, yet the sheep never came. I catalogued them in my mind's eye, each one a fluffy form against the indigo backdrop. But they remained lost in the realm of dreams.
- Frustration began to creep, as I desired for the calming rhythm of their groaning.
- Sleep eluded me, trapped in a cycle of imagining.
Sleepless Nightmares
Sleep, once a comforting sanctuary, now flees me like a phantom. Each night, the darkness descends, bringing with it not tranquility, but a mounting fear. My mind races wildly, trapped in a relentless cycle of thoughts that spin. I toss and fidget, depleted by the very thing that should bring me comfort: sleep.
- Hours creep by, each one a painful reminder of my helplessness.
- 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 follows me throughout the day.
A Battle Through Darkness
The moon hung low in the sky, casting long shapes across the silent landscape. A piercing wind whispered through the trees, bringing with it the scent of decay.

- He battled his inner darkness, seeking relief from the darkening world.
- Within this courage could be discovered, but it often came at a heavy cost.
Energy From Nightmares
Nightmare fuel, it consumes in the deepest corners of your mind. It's the stuff that makes sleep paralysis, manifests as shadows under your bed, and leaves you shaking in the cold morning. Some desire it, some abhor it. But once you've experienced its icy touch, you can never truly be unaffected.
- It lingers
- Beneath your eyelids
- A constant reminder
