Sleepless Nights, Endless Days
The clock clangs, a mocking reminder of the time that melts away. Shadows stretch and yawn across the room as I glint out into the still night. The world slumbers, but my mind spins like a dervish. My thoughts jumble in a chaotic dance, each one a whispered echo of my worry. This tedious cycle exhausts me, hollowing my energy. I yearn for tranquility, but it eludes just as I grasp for it.
Gazing upon Sheep That Never Come

It was a time when fear could easily take hold. Few people felt peace in the darkness, but for others, it was a arena where their struggles came to life.
- He faced her personal darkness, seeking a way from the night's grip.
- Throughout this midnight struggle strength could be cultivated, but it often came at a heavy toll.
