Sleepless Nights, Endless Days
The clock whirs, a mocking reminder of the time that melts away. Darknesss stretch and yawn across the room as I stare out into the still night. The world rests, but my mind races like a hamster. My thoughts jumble in a chaotic storm, each one a whispered echo of my fear. This ageless cycle exhausts me, eroding my strength. I crave for tranquility, but it fades just as I touch for it.

Insomnia's Grip
Sleep, once a comforting sanctuary, evades me like a phantom. Each night, the darkness descends, bringing with it not tranquility, but a mounting anxiety. My mind races frantically, caught in a relentless cycle of thoughts that spin. I toss and turn, drained by the very thing that should bring me comfort: sleep.
- Hours creep by, each one a painful reminder of my frailty.
- The world beyond sleeps soundly, unaware of my mental torment.
- Morning arrives, bringing with it a heavy sense of defeat and a lingering exhaustion that haunts me throughout the day.
Wrestling With the Night
The moon hung low in the sky, casting long shadows across the quiet landscape. A bitter wind whispered through the trees, fting with it the scent here of decay. It was a moment when anxiety could easily grip your heart. Some people felt peace in the darkness, but for others, it was a testing ground where their struggles came to light.
- She confronting her own problems, seeking an escape from the night's grip.
- Within this journey, courage could be cultivated, but it often came at a heavy cost.

- It festers
- In your dreams
- A constant reminder
