The Shower

Screams drowned out by the endless splatter of water

Tears washed away

Thud of my body hitting the floor

Dull knives stab at my back

I'm curled up into a ball

Banging my head against the cold tile walls

What time is it? I don't know anymore

I let my thoughts and feelings pour out of me

Into the drain

Until I'm hollow, empty

Then I stand back up

Stop the tears and screaming

Put the mask of normality back on

And grab the shampoo
