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 dervish. My thoughts collide in a chaotic frenzy, each one a grating echo of my fear. This endless cycle leaves me, sapping my willpower. I crave for tranquility, but it evades just as I grasp for it.
Trying Sheep That Never Come
The dark sky above was a canvas for wandering stars, yet the sheep never came. I analyzed them in my mind's eye, each one a fluffy silhouette against the velvet backdrop. But they remained lost in the realm of dreams.
- Anxiety began to creep, as I desired for the calming rhythm of their baaing.
- Rest 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 frantically, trapped in a relentless cycle of thoughts that jumble. I toss and struggle, drained by the very thing that should bring me renewal: sleep.
- Hours creep by, each one a painful reminder of my frailty.
- The world beyond sleeps soundly, unaware of my mental torment.
- Dawn arrives, bringing with it a heavy sense of defeat and a lingering exhaustion that follows me throughout the day.
The Midnight Struggle
The night's orb hung low in the sky, casting long shadows across the still landscape. A piercing wind whispered through the trees, carrying with it the scent of damp earth. It was a hour when anxiety could easily consume your mind. Many people felt peace in the darkness, but for others, it was a testing ground where their struggles came to life.
- They faced her own darkness, seeking a way from the night's grip.
- In this midnight struggle strength could be cultivated, but it often came at a great toll.
Source From Nightmares
Nightmare fuel, it consumes in the deepest crevices of your mind. It's the stuff that breeds sleep terrors, explodes as phantoms under your bed, and leaves you shaking in the cold light. Some desire it, some fear it. But once you've tasted its bitter touch, you can never truly be free.
- It haunts
- Within your sleep
- An inescapable truth
