Someone else got in the shower today,
They took over my body
and put on both heaters
stepped in the shower,
the water was boiling
but They didn't mind
when I woke up on the floor
the water ran cold
and my head hurt
Mum wasn't home,
she's always at work
no one had even noticed
as I got up and went to my room
-a shattered opal
