    Not even a poem

    Do u remember Raskalnikov’s delirium, yeah?

    Well that’s how I feel most of the time

    Remorse runs through me as natural as the blood in my veins

    Guilt flows with the force of neural electricity

    And doubt sweats from pores, from the holes

    The heart man the heart

    I'm just a walking heart

    Do I even have a head?

    It is definitely a poem, but I'm not sure if you wrote it or overheard a poetic physicist having a conversation with his shrink.

    I felt it. I didn't despise you. You didn't waste my time.

    I think you could start the poem at L3 and use Raskalnilov's delirium as a powerful metaphor after L5.

    The last 3 lines are desperate, confused and finish the poem well.
