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 stare out into the empty night. The world rests, but my mind churns like a dervish. My thoughts tangled in a chaotic storm, each one a grating echo of my worry. This endless cycle exhausts me, hollowing my strength.

- Containment eluded me, trapped in a cycle of imagining.
Insomnia's Grip

- Dawn arrives, bringing with it a heavy sense of defeat and a lingering exhaustion that follows me throughout the day.

- Within your sleep
- An inescapable truth
