Sleepless Nights, Endless Days
The clock clangs, a mocking reminder of the time that flees away. Gloom stretch and yawn across the room as I gaze out into the still night. The world dozes, but my mind races like a dervish. My thoughts jumble in a chaotic storm, each one a grating echo of my anxiety. This endless cycle exhausts me, hollowing my strength. I yearn for rest, but it fades just as I grasp for it.
Gazing upon Sheep That Never Come

- Within this , strength could be cultivated, but it often came at a heavy price.
Energy of Nightmares
Nightmare fuel, it burns in the deepest crevices of your mind. It's the stuff that generates sleep terrors, explodes as phantoms under your bed, and leaves you sweating in the cold morning. Some seek it, some dread it. But once you've experienced its bitter touch, you can never truly be free.
- It lingers
- Beneath your eyelids
- An inescapable truth
