Sleepless Nights, Endless Days

The clock ticks, a mocking reminder of the time that melts away. Darknesss stretch and yawn across the room as I glint out into the vacant night. The world dozes, but my mind spins like a dervish. My thoughts tangled in a chaotic storm, each one a screeching echo of my fear. This tedious cycle exhausts me, hollowing my willpower. I crave for rest, but it evades just as I grasp for it.

Gazing upon Sheep That Never Come

The dark sky above was a canvas for wandering stars, yet the sheep never came. I analyzed them in my mind's gaze, each one a fluffy form against the indigo backdrop. But they remained distant in the realm of imagination.

• In your dreams
• An inescapable truth
