Sleepless Nights, Endless Days
The clock ticks, a mocking reminder of the time that drips away. Shadows stretch and yawn across the room as I glint out into the still night. The world rests, but my mind races like a hamster. My thoughts jumble in a chaotic dance, each one a grating echo of my anxiety. This tedious cycle drains me, eroding my willpower. I yearn for tranquility, but it eludes just as I touch for it.

- It festers
- In your dreams
- A haunting echo
