THE SHOWER IS A SILENCER

The shower runs
The tears leak
I am shaking
I feel something gripping my insides
It flips
It dips
It goes round and round
I want to scream
But
They might hear me
and
They might ask for an explanation
Something that I do not have
So
No.
I'll pass.
no words today please.
no "HELP"
no "SOMEBODY PLEASE SAVE ME"
Just struggling
Silent
Boring
struggling
And
The sound of the water hitting the floor
Drip
Drip
Drip
It's cold. Are you cold?
