Sleepless Nights, Endless Days
The clock clangs, a mocking reminder of the time that flees away. Darknesss stretch and here yawn across the room as I stare out into the still night. The world slumbers, but my mind races like a dervish. My thoughts collide in a chaotic dance, each one a whispered echo of my worry. This ageless cycle exhausts me, eroding my energy. I long for tranquility, but it evades just as I reach for it.

- Sleep eluded me, trapped in a cycle of imagining.
Sleepless Nightmares
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 feverishly, trapped in a relentless cycle of thoughts that spin. I toss and fidget, exhausted by the very thing that should bring me repair: sleep.
- Hours creep by, each one a painful reminder of my frailty.
- The world beyond sleeps soundly, unaware of my internal torment.
- Dawn arrives, bringing with it a heavy sense of defeat and a persistent exhaustion that follows me throughout the day.
The Midnight Struggle

It was a hour when anxiety could easily consume your mind. Few people found solace in the darkness, but for others, it was a testing ground where their fears came to light.
- She battled their personal troubles, seeking an escape from the darkening world.
- In this courage could be discovered, but it often came at a significant price.
Fuel For Nightmares
Nightmare fuel, it scorches in the deepest corners of your mind. It's the stuff that generates sleep paralysis, explodes as creatures under your bed, and leaves you shaking in the cold morning. Some seek it, some abhor it. But once you've experienced its icy touch, you can never truly be free.
- It haunts
- Beneath your eyelids
- A constant reminder
