Sleepless Nights, Endless Days
The clock ticks, a mocking reminder of the time that flees away. Gloom stretch and yawn across the room as I stare out into the still night. The world slumbers, but my mind races like a dervish. My thoughts collide in a chaotic frenzy, each one a screeching echo of my worry. This tedious cycle exhausts me, eroding my energy. I crave for rest, but it fades just as I reach for it.
Trying Sheep That Never Come
The empty sky above was a canvas for drifting stars, yet the sheep never appeared. I catalogued them in my mind's gaze, each one a fluffy form against the velvet backdrop. But they remained lost in the realm of imagination.

- It haunts
- Beneath your eyelids
- A haunting echo
