Sleepless Nights, Endless Days

The clock ticks, a mocking reminder of the time that flees away. Darknesss stretch and yawn across the room as I gaze out into the empty night. The world rests, but my mind churns like a hamster. My thoughts collide in a chaotic storm, each one a grating echo of my fear. This endless cycle drains me, sapping my willpower. I crave for rest, but it evades just as I reach for it.

• Morning arrives, bringing with it a heavy sense of defeat and a persistent exhaustion that afflicts me throughout the day.
