Felt weakness, sleepy or weepy at night;
Rationalized and found nothing to dread;
Visualized and saw nothing to fight;
While at my computer or tucked in bed;
Have energy drains, foggy brain, mind gaps;
Heard loud popping noises where I was roomed;
Took longer naps; had insomnia traps;
Have bad thoughts or bad diet, I assumed.
Felt nightly jump jolts, zoom zaps, system shocks;
Dreamt vividly in colors without rest;
Felt night quakes, quivers and shivers which rocks;
Overcame with willpower as my test.
Outdated electrical body knows.
Upgraded; rebooted by unseen blows.
