Fleshster Mr Metropolis

drum beats

  over my restless leg

incessantly

  pain reminds me

of what I've done

  what it's done to me

who I am because of that

  why i'm still here

in our rhythm

   finishing melodies

and other random

things

              in rhythm

between breath

        to kill time

until the next

(remember)

breathe

(remember)

                  you are free

This poem touched me. With the pain reminding you of what you've done, what it's done to you, and who you are. Simple but effective. Thank you for sharing!
