Sleepless Nights, Endless Days
The clock clangs, a mocking reminder of the time that drips away. Gloom stretch and yawn across the room as I glint out into the still night. The world dozes, but my mind races like a top. My thoughts tangled in a chaotic storm, each one a screeching echo of my fear. This endless cycle leaves me, hollowing my willpower. I long for tranquility, but it evades just as I reach for it.
Staring at Sheep That Never Come

- Disappointment began to creep, as I longed for the calming rhythm of their groaning.
- Rest eluded me, trapped in a cycle of imagining.
The Insomniac's Burden

My mind races wildly, caught in a relentless cycle of thoughts that jumble. I toss and turn, drained by the very thing that should bring me repair: sleep.
- Minutes creep by, each one a painful reminder of my frailty.
- The world beyond sleeps soundly, unaware of my mental torment.
- Morning arrives, bringing with it a heavy sense of defeat and a lingering exhaustion that haunts me throughout the day.

- Throughout this , hope could be found, but it often came at a significant cost.
Fuel of Terror
Nightmare fuel, it scorches in the deepest haunts of your mind. It's the stuff that makes sleep paralysis, explodes as phantoms under your bed, and leaves you trembling in the cold dawn. Some crave it, some fear it. But once you've tasted its scorching touch, you can never truly be unaffected.
- It festers
- In your dreams
- An inescapable truth
