Sleepless Nights, Endless Days
The clock whirs, 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 churns like a top. My thoughts jumble in a chaotic frenzy, each one a whispered echo of my worry. This ageless cycle exhausts me, eroding my energy. I crave for rest, but it eludes just as I reach for it.

- It lingers
- In your dreams
- A constant reminder
