Sleepless Nights, Endless Days
The clock whirs, a mocking reminder of the time that flees away. Gloom stretch and yawn across the room as I stare out into the vacant night. The world rests, but my mind spins like a dervish. My thoughts jumble in a chaotic dance, each one a screeching echo of my worry. This ageless cycle drains me, eroding my energy. I yearn for tranquility, but it evades just as I touch for it.
Trying Sheep That Never Come

- She faced her personal troubles, seeking relief from the suffocating night.
- Within this strength could be cultivated, but it often came at a significant cost.
Energy of Terror
Nightmare fuel, it consumes in the deepest corners of your mind. It's the stuff that breeds sleep terrors, explodes as creatures under your bed, and leaves you sweating in the cold light. Some desire it, some abhor it. But once you've tasted its bitter touch, you can never truly be free.
- It lingers
- Within your sleep
- A haunting echo
