Sleepless Nights, Endless Days
The clock ticks, a mocking reminder of the time that drips away. Gloom stretch and yawn across the room as I glint out into the vacant night. The world rests, but my mind churns like a hamster. My thoughts tangled in a chaotic dance, each one a grating echo of my worry. This tedious cycle leaves me, hollowing my willpower. I yearn for sleep, but it fades just as I grasp for it.
Staring at Sheep That Never Come

- It haunts
- In your dreams
- A constant reminder
