Happy FMA day everyone!

In celebration of this momentous day, I have written a drabble-y slight angst filled Edward Elric-centric free verse poem! I posted this on deviantart for The-DA-Ranger-Group's Don't Forget contest, and I figured I'd post it here too ya know!

So, enjoy and don't forget (lol) to review!

Don't Forget

Coward. Fool. Selfish. Dog.

All of these describe me, but why do they?

I wonder

I wish

I cry

I know

I know why they describe me.

But I do not want to know

Child. Helpless. Desperate. Naive.

These words also describe me.

Because I am but a child.

A child selfish and naïve

foolish and desperate

nothing but a helpless dog

Chained to the faceless figure of Fate,

of Truth,

of the State,

of myself?

I want to be innocent

But innocent does not define me

No

Not anymore.

Because I am no longer

without blame

without remorse

without sin

That is why

I must not forget

Why I can never turn back

Why I can never return

Why I must always move forward

I made a promise

there is nothing I won't give

And I will not ever

to see

Ever

your smiling face again

Forget
