Two showers a day keeps the demons away
Two showers a day and I might just feel clean enough to breath
Deeply
If I keep taking two showers a day
I may have to start hiding the second
Or I'll get a sit-down conversation about my water usage
What am I trying to wash away?
They might ask
I dought they'll have the guts to be direct
Go that direction
If they did
I would reply by stripping in front of them
Laying out for display and cry till they look away
Ask me to act civil
I'll act like an animal till you can't help but join in
You want a highway straight to my emotions that hideaway
So I'll give you that and more
If only you could figure out which question to ask
If you did
I would ask you a question right back
The magic words now a key
unlocking us
Leaving us in a pile of each other
Messy and magic
Both misunderstood
Both misrepresented
But now both asking for clear eyes to lay upon our skin and see our truths with all the sweets and bitter dripping from every crevice of or being
Now
open mouths
To taste it all
Now
Open hearts to soak it all in and love with no expectations
Now
Open minds to listen and accept it all with no limitations
And now we might actually get somewhere
Z.H.
