Thanks to @littlespiral, I wrote a song about the time when I broke my elbow. This has been a good way to excavate some of what my body is still holding
My fall was so loud
it startled the crowd
I hid away in the dark
two days in my style
deep in denial
the bone was split at the top
what did I do?
performed the show through
the screams they thought were the act
the way that I felt
was physical hell
but to all I appeared intact
All this is to show
how well I can flow
the girl with the broken elbow
a life full of trials
pain and denials
here to heal the brokenness make it my style
I zoomed down the street
my scooter and me
the wind whipping through my hair
but I didn't see
what was right in front of me
hit a manhole, flew through the air
my face it the ground
what a terrible sound
it stopped the passers by
my mind left my skin
I wandered within
thankful I didn't die
All this is to show
how well I can flow
the girl with the broken jaw bone
a life full of trials
pain and denials
here to heal the brokenness make it my style
no... the history cannot break me
no... the history of breaks cannot stop me

The accident details give me the shivers. Pretty sound to the song, I guess that shows how you got up and continued through.
