I just found this in a place on my computer that means I wrote it even though I have no current memory of writing it.

This is actually a good thing, I’ll get to why later after I post this, please nobody worry too much over me right now. Anyway I found the following poem on my computer when clicking random stuff after waking up after sleeping after an extremely long period of not sleeping.

Which is why I’m disoriented, which is why you actually shouldn’t worry much over me – I know what’s going on, even though all this has happened, which means things I set in place to keep myself safe are actually keeping me both physically and cognitively safe. Anyway I’m going to post the poem, and then I’m going to write another post explaining what’s going on a bit, so please don’t worry about me overmuch.

Anyway I’m still weirded out by finding things on my computer from the time period my brain refuses to remember after the delirium. But I’m okay, what’s happening now is just a natural reaction to sleep deprivation, nothing horrible. So here’s the poem, and I’ll be back in a minute (probably a lot longer than a minute, but whatever).

What is your name when you’re alone
When nobody’s there to hear you say it?
Do you dance and sing when nobody can see?
Would you ever dance and sing for me?

I have no name when I’m alone
But I have a voice when I’m silent
I dance and I sing when nobody’s in view
And one day I might dance and sing for you
