Sleepless Nights, Endless Days
The clock whirs, a mocking reminder of the time that flees away. Darknesss stretch and yawn across the room as I glint out into the empty night. The world rests, but my mind races like a top. My thoughts tangled in a chaotic storm, each one a grating echo of my anxiety. This ageless cycle exhausts me, sapping my energy. I long for rest, but it eludes just as I touch for it.
Gazing upon Sheep That Never Come
The dark sky above was a canvas for wandering stars, yet the sheep never came. I catalogued them in my mind's vision, each one a fluffy shadow against the velvet backdrop. But they remained distant in the realm of dreams.
- Frustration began to invade, as I longed for the calming rhythm of their baaing.
- Sleep eluded me, trapped in a cycle of counting.
Sleepless Nightmares
Sleep, once a comforting sanctuary, evades me like a phantom. Each night, the darkness descends, bringing with it not tranquility, but a mounting anxiety. My mind races feverishly, caught in a relentless cycle of thoughts that spin. I toss and fidget, exhausted by the very thing that should bring me renewal: sleep.
- Glimpses creep by, each one a painful reminder of my helplessness.
- The world outside sleeps soundly, unaware of my spiritual torment.
- Morning arrives, bringing with it a heavy sense of defeat and a persistent exhaustion that follows me throughout the day.
Wrestling With the Night
The celestial beacon hung low in the sky, casting long shapes across the quiet landscape. A chilling wind whispered through the trees, bringing with it the scent of damp earth. It was a hour when anxiety could easily consume your mind. Some people felt peace in the darkness, but for others, it was a testing ground where their fears came to surface.
- They confronting her own darkness, seeking a way from the darkening world.
- Within this courage could be discovered, but it often came at a significant toll.
Fuel For Terror
Nightmare fuel, it consumes in the deepest crevices of your mind. It's the stuff that breeds sleep paralysis, blooms as shadows under your bed, and leaves you shaking in the cold light. Some crave it, some abhor it. But once you've felt its scorching touch, you can never truly be untouched.
- It lingers
- Within your sleep
- A haunting echo
