I want to clean up.
Erase all the mistakes,
Tie up all loose ends
And wash the lies out of my mouth.
Unfortunately, as much as you try,
That dirty smudge will always remain.
You could always add a fresh coat of paint,
But it will still be there, underneath.
Just learn to accept it.
I've grown fond of my many smudges.
I know that's not who I am anymore.
But it made me the person I am today.
Nothing will be completely clean.
But there's always room to try.
Don't you want to clean up?
