Sleepless Nights, Endless Days
The clock clangs, a mocking reminder of the time that melts away. Gloom stretch and yawn across the room as I gaze out into the vacant night. The world dozes, but my mind churns like a dervish. My thoughts collide in a chaotic frenzy, each one a whispered echo of my worry. This tedious cycle exhausts me, hollowing my energy. I long for tranquility, but it fades just as I grasp for it.
Trying Sheep That Never Come

- Within your sleep
- An inescapable truth
