Sleepless Nights, Endless Days
The clock ticks, 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 dozes, but my mind spins like a top. My thoughts tangled in a chaotic storm, each one a whispered echo of my worry. This tedious cycle leaves me, sapping my energy. I yearn for rest, but it fades just as I reach for it.
Trying Sheep That Never Come
The empty sky above was a canvas for drifting stars, yet the sheep never came. I catalogued them in my mind's eye, each one a fluffy silhouette against the night backdrop. But they remained lost in the realm of dreams.
- Frustration began to crawl, as I desired for the calming rhythm of their bleating.
- Rest eluded me, trapped in a cycle of speculating.

- Morning arrives, bringing with it a heavy sense of defeat and a persistent exhaustion that afflicts me throughout the day.
Wrestling With the Night
The moon hung low in the sky, casting long shapes across the still landscape. A piercing wind moaned through the trees, fting with it the scent of decay.

- They faced their own darkness, seeking relief from the suffocating night.
- Throughout this midnight struggle strength could be discovered, but it often came at a significant price.
Energy of Terror

- It festers
- Beneath your eyelids
- A constant reminder
