Sleepless Nights, Endless Days
The clock whirs, a mocking reminder of the time that drips away. Shadows stretch and yawn across the room as I stare out into the empty night. The world rests, but my mind churns like a hamster. My thoughts jumble in a chaotic dance, each one a screeching echo of my anxiety. This endless cycle exhausts me, sapping my energy. I long for rest, but it eludes just as I grasp for it.
Gazing upon Sheep That Never Come

- It lingers
- In your dreams
- A constant reminder
