the shower
can i stay here forever
stripped down to nothing
letting the pressure of the water
force off everything
hot water removes
the sadness, the guilt, the shame
anyone that disapproves
does not know my flame
it burns inside
killing the girl i used to be
no matter how hard i tried
nobody will ever see
when i feel weak
this is where i go
to let it all leak
out, everything i know
holding my hair off my neck
i let the water brush away my tears
its obvious that i'm a wreck
but it washes away all of my fears
this is where i find comfort
i don't feel alone, the water is near
and it helps me to sort
through my feelings in here
i don't want to leave
please can i stay
nobody will believe
the pain i feel today
