Sleepless Nights, Endless Days

The clock clangs, a mocking reminder of the time that drips away. Shadows stretch and yawn across the room as I stare out into the empty night. The world rests, but my mind churns like a hamster. My thoughts tangled in a chaotic dance, each one a screeching echo of my fear. This endless cycle leaves me, eroding my energy. I yearn for sleep, but it eludes just as I reach for it.

Trying Sheep That Never Come

• Within this , hope could be found, but it often came at a significant toll.

Nightmare fuel, it scorches in the deepest crevices of your mind. It's the stuff that generates sleep disturbances, manifests as shadows under your bed, and leaves you sweating in the cold light. Some seek it, some dread it. But once you've tasted its scorching touch, you can never truly be untouched.

• It haunts
• Within your sleep
• A constant reminder
