How strange
Muscles twitch involuntarily
Unbidden
Yet meanings full
Spasmic empathy
For pain within
Cradles me
Behind my mask
Leak quietly
That, is I.

Hi Byron, It sounds like the writer is in a lot of pain, but that he is able to be kind to himself as he endures it. Excuse me if I have it wrong; I've never been good at pome interpretation.

Your words remind me of lines from Pink Floyd, although only because you end your words "I" and for no other reason:

"Can't keep my eyes from the circling sky
Tongue tied and twisted, just an earthbound misfit, I"

They used to be amongst my fave lyrics, any excuse to post them (it's down to Lizzy ).
