Sleepless Nights, Endless Days
The clock whirs, a mocking reminder of the time that flees away. Darknesss stretch and yawn across the room as I stare out into the vacant night. The world slumbers, but my mind spins like a dervish. My thoughts tangled in a chaotic storm, each one a screeching echo of my worry. This tedious cycle drains me, hollowing my energy. I yearn for rest, but it eludes just as I touch for it.
Trying Sheep That Never Come
The blank sky above was a canvas for wandering stars, yet the sheep never appeared. I analyzed them in my mind's gaze, each one a fluffy form against the night backdrop. But they remained unseen in the realm of dreams.
- Frustration began to invade, as I desired for the calming rhythm of their bleating.

- Throughout this midnight struggle hope could be cultivated, but it often came at a significant cost.
