Sleepless Nights, Endless Days
The clock ticks, a mocking reminder of the check here time that melts away. Shadows stretch and yawn across the room as I gaze out into the vacant night. The world slumbers, but my mind races like a top. My thoughts collide in a chaotic frenzy, each one a whispered echo of my worry. This tedious cycle drains me, eroding my strength. I long for sleep, but it evades just as I grasp for it.
Staring at Sheep That Never Come
The dark sky above was a canvas for flitting stars, yet the sheep never appeared. I counted them in my mind's vision, each one a fluffy form against the night backdrop. But they remained distant in the realm of fantasy.
- Frustration began to invade, as I longed for the calming rhythm of their groaning.

- Throughout this midnight struggle strength could be cultivated, but it often came at a heavy price.

- It festers
- Beneath your eyelids
- A haunting echo
