Sleepless Nights, Endless Days
The clock ticks, a mocking reminder of the time that melts away. Shadows stretch and yawn across the room as I stare out into the vacant night. The world slumbers, but my mind spins like a top. My thoughts jumble in a chaotic storm, each one a whispered echo of my anxiety. This tedious cycle exhausts me, hollowing my willpower. I long for rest, but it evades just as I reach for it.
Gazing upon Sheep That Never Come
The blank sky above was a canvas for drifting stars, yet the sheep never appeared. I analyzed them in my mind's gaze, each one a fluffy silhouette against the velvet backdrop. But they remained distant in the realm of dreams.
- Anxiety began to invade, as I longed for the calming rhythm of their baaing.
- Sleep eluded me, trapped in a cycle of imagining.
Sleepless Nightmares
Sleep, once a comforting sanctuary, now flees me like a phantom. Each night, the darkness descends, bringing with it not peace, but a mounting anxiety. My mind races frantically, caught in a relentless cycle of thoughts that jumble. I toss and fidget, depleted by the very thing that should bring me renewal: sleep.
- Minutes creep by, each one a painful reminder of my frailty.
- The world around sleeps soundly, unaware of my internal torment.
- Light arrives, bringing with it a heavy sense of defeat and a prolonged exhaustion that afflicts me throughout the day.

The moon hung low in the sky, casting long shadows across the still landscape. A bitter wind whispered through the trees, carrying with it the scent of damp earth. It was a hour when anxiety could easily grip your heart. Few people found solace in the darkness, but for others, it was a arena where their struggles came to light.
- They confronting their personal problems, seeking an escape from the suffocating night.
- In this strength could be cultivated, but it often came at a significant cost.
