Today is the turn of Italy! And Ottava Rima
❤
In the darkness of the night, I lie awake,
My mind racing, thoughts swirling in a haze,
The silence broken only by the clock’s tick-tock,
As sleep eludes me, my body feels like a rock.
I toss and turn, trying to find some peace,
But the worries and fears refuse to cease,
The hours pass by, the moon high in the sky,
As I long for the moment when sleep will finally nigh.
