Sleepless Nights, Endless Days
The clock ticks, a mocking reminder of the time that flees away. Shadows stretch and yawn across the room as I gaze out into the empty night. The world slumbers, but my mind spins like a hamster. My thoughts tangled in a chaotic frenzy, each one a screeching echo of my anxiety. This tedious cycle exhausts me, hollowing my energy. I long for sleep, but it fades just as I grasp for it.
