Sleepless Nights, Endless Days
The clock ticks, a mocking reminder of the time that drips away. Gloom stretch and yawn across the room as I gaze website out into the empty night. The world rests, but my mind races like a hamster. My thoughts jumble in a chaotic storm, each one a whispered echo of my fear. This ageless cycle leaves me, sapping my strength. I long for rest, but it fades just as I grasp for it.

- Within your sleep
- A constant reminder
