my shower burned this morning.

not because of the hot water, though.

yes, i left with burn marks,

but it "burned" as in "it stung".

i suppose i could've just said,

"i cut again", instead of "my shower burned this morning".

i stepped out of the shower, shivering

because i let the water run until it was freezing.

i just wanted to soothe my incisions.

i've never been good at making decisions.
