A poem that we share as one, a world and an ideal that we cannot escape.

-You'll Remember Me-
by Keaton Foster

This heart
Aches
This mind
Races
These thoughts
They come
The pain
Follows close
Imagine
If you can
Living with
A man's hands
Around your heart
Squeezing
Because he is sure
More than you
That he’s right
Holding on
Way to tight
You’d be praying
Pleading every day
For dear life
Trust me
Understand
I won’t lie
All truths
Must be spoken
I encourage
Everyone to listen
Please my friends
If you can stand
I am this man
A broken vessel
Within a hellish institution
There is no cup
Yet every ounce of me
Runneth over
Spilling out
Questions and doubt
God’s upon themselves
What is being said
Relation in poetic form
Perfection spared
Crude and to the point
Leaving little to decide
Even less to be denied
Long after this day
No matter the case
You’ll remember me
Even if you wish
Upon every dream
Not to
You’ll know my plight
Because
Without question
Yours is
And has been the same
We share it as one
The causalities of this war
And the fights brought to battle
Our demons are the same
Our lack of belief
In anything
Other than ourselves
Is what has brought us together
And will never let us be apart
You’ll remember me
Because
You’ll remember yourself…
