Sleepless Nights, Endless Days
The clock clangs, a mocking reminder of the time that melts away. Darknesss stretch and yawn across the room as I glint out into the empty night. The world dozes, but my mind spins like a hamster. My thoughts jumble in a chaotic dance, each one a whispered echo of my anxiety. This endless cycle leaves me, eroding my strength. I long for sleep, but it fades just as I grasp for it.
Gazing upon Sheep That Never Come
The blank sky above was a canvas for wandering stars, yet the sheep never appeared. I counted them in my mind's gaze, each one a fluffy form against the night backdrop. But they remained unseen in the realm of dreams.

Insomnia's Grip
Sleep, once a comforting sanctuary, eludes me like a phantom. Each night, the darkness descends, bringing with it not peace, but a mounting unease. My mind races frantically, held captive in a relentless cycle of thoughts that spin. I toss and struggle, depleted by the very thing that should bring me renewal: sleep.

- The world beyond sleeps soundly, unaware of my spiritual torment.
- Morning arrives, bringing with it a heavy sense of defeat and a prolonged exhaustion that afflicts me throughout the day.
