Sleepless Nights, Endless Days
The clock whirs, a mocking reminder of the time that melts away. Shadows stretch and yawn across the room as I gaze out into the vacant night. The world slumbers, but my mind races like a dervish. My thoughts collide in a chaotic storm, each one a grating echo of my fear. This ageless cycle exhausts me, hollowing my strength. I crave for tranquility, but it fades just as I grasp for it.
Gazing upon Sheep That Never Come
