Step inside, get away
but all I see,
naked shame.
vulnerable.
scared.
broken.
I am what I am ...
Almond mint soaks through
The fog of another daunting mirror
Little footsteps and needy yells
The other side of clean
"What's taking you so long?!"
"I'm just washing off the day's broken hopes and dreams!"
Walk through door beads,
Walk through rain.
Release the water,
Release the pain.
Let it take you,
Let it drain.
life never stops
showering me
so I drink
the anguish
and find nourishment
in the flow
of ocean
leaving my eyes.
Wondering
Who will I become
As I sing
My favorite Disney song
Then I realize
My shampooing isn't done
Coffee taps its
toes in restless
wait... as the
shower hails
Down on me like
Soul-caffeine
What was once a space of bubbly cuddles and laughter, is now a cubicle for memories to reign over me.
Can't scrub past from husk
adheres to struggling core.
Streams of water run clear
dirt tainted soul remains.
The tears sanitize
My open heart
With pain draining
In crimson bleach
The sting awakens
A healing baptism
