The pathogen begins to root
Below the eyes.
In the form of dark circles,
Cirulation lost.
These remain throughout the
Entire attack,
If not tended to immediately
In the form of
Sleep.

Cognitive abilities are the
Next to go, and,
As focus starts to blur,
Energy and will are
Cut severely, making nothing
As fun as it
Previously was, before...
Before...

It largely appears to be
A week-long ill...
Which brings a spark of hope
Into my life, for
Another day of this and I
Would be,
Brought down to my knees,
A useless, broken man.
Thank God...

It's Friday!
