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 slumbers, but my mind spins like a dervish. My thoughts jumble in a chaotic frenzy, each one a whispered echo of my worry. This tedious cycle leaves me, hollowing my strength. I long for rest, but it eludes just as I grasp for it.
Trying Sheep That Never Come

- Containment eluded me, trapped in a cycle of imagining.
Insomnia's Grip
Sleep, once a comforting sanctuary, evades me like a phantom. Each night, the darkness descends, bringing with it not rest, but a mounting unease. My mind races feverishly, held captive in a relentless cycle of thoughts that spin. I toss and fidget, depleted by the very thing that should bring me comfort: sleep.

- It lingers
- Beneath your eyelids
- A constant reminder
