Sleepless Nights, Endless Days
The clock whirs, a mocking reminder of the time that flees away. Gloom stretch and yawn across the room as I stare out into the still night. The world dozes, but my mind spins like a top. My thoughts tangled in a chaotic storm, each one a grating echo of my fear. This tedious cycle leaves me, sapping my energy. I long for sleep, but it eludes just as I grasp for it.
Staring at Sheep That Never Come
The dark sky above was a canvas for wandering stars, yet the sheep never came. I catalogued them in worst sleeping my mind's vision, each one a fluffy form against the indigo backdrop. But they remained unseen in the realm of imagination.
- Disappointment began to invade, as I yearned for the calming rhythm of their bleating.
- Containment eluded me, trapped in a cycle of counting.
Insomnia's Grip
Sleep, once a comforting sanctuary, now flees me like a phantom. Each night, the darkness descends, bringing with it not peace, but a mounting anxiety. My mind races wildly, held captive in a relentless cycle of thoughts that unravel. I toss and turn, exhausted by the very thing that should bring me repair: sleep.
- Glimpses creep by, each one a painful reminder of my vulnerability.
- The world beyond sleeps soundly, unaware of my mental torment.
- Morning arrives, bringing with it a heavy sense of defeat and a persistent exhaustion that haunts me throughout the day.
A Battle Through Darkness
The moon hung low in the sky, casting long shadows across the quiet landscape. A piercing wind whispered through the trees, fting with it the scent of decay. It was a time when fear could easily take hold. Few people sought comfort in the darkness, but for others, it was a battleground where their struggles came to light.
- They faced their own darkness, seeking relief from the suffocating night.
- In this courage could be discovered, but it often came at a heavy price.
Fuel of Nightmares
Nightmare fuel, it scorches in the deepest haunts of your mind. It's the stuff that makes sleep terrors, blooms as phantoms under your bed, and leaves you trembling in the cold dawn. Some crave it, some fear it. But once you've experienced its bitter touch, you can never truly be unaffected.
- It lingers
- Within your sleep
- A constant reminder
