wash away my problems

"OUT DAMN'D SPOT!" Go ahead. Scrub. It won't make a difference.


The water from the showerhead spikes into me, each drop a dagger. The water's so hot it burns like the scarlet letter. Change of pace. Down goes the dial. Make the aqua so cold it numbs my soul.

Okay, I'm a prune now. Soap, you betrayed me. How can I be clean when i feel so dirty? Pull the plug. The secrets don't go down the drain...they float up and haunt me.

Guilt. Shame. Jealousy. Deception.

How could I breathe? I would've drowned long ago with all this thrown at me.


I'm only one person. How can I move a mountain? Blink, and I'll be gone.

I shouldn't have said anything. Sorry. Ignorance is bliss? Fuck.
