Sliding Into Oblivion

This carpet weaves its holes in me
on the bathroom floor.
The smell of rot from underneath,
the stench of wanting more.
Momentum lost in curtain rings

as anger fills the tub,
steaming rage pours over me.
Cleanse me from the inside out.
Slipped on doubt, broke the chain,
fear became unplugged.
My courage sliding down the drain

lost in the steel and grout.
