SHOWERS

Dear Sylvia,

  

Showers wash all the dirt

But they can't wash the hurt

They can't rinse away your sain

But only if they rinsed away the pain

Soap to clean the skin

But the dirts way to deep in

Hot water pounds my body

Like my life, leaving it all soggy

A closed room that contains heat

I give up and face defeat

Knobs turning controlling the water

Like my mom controlling my access to a father

Shampoo and conditioner

Make me feel dependent like a prisoner

Water droplets fall like tears

To all these emotions I was never a volunteer

The shower goes off and your now "clean"

But to only not feel like a queen

A couple of hours later when everythings at it's end

You'll have to do the showers all over again
