Sleepless Nights, Endless Days
The clock ticks, a mocking reminder of the time that drips away. Darknesss stretch and yawn across the room as I glint out into the still night. The world slumbers, but my mind churns like a hamster. My thoughts collide in a chaotic storm, each one a screeching echo of my anxiety. This tedious cycle leaves me, eroding my strength. I yearn for rest, but it eludes just as I touch for it.
