Standing in forty-degree weather; Water threatening to change to ice. Perhaps, the rain will cleanse me, And I will feel pure. Maybe their blackened fingerprints Will fade away from my skin. The grease from their selfish palms Leaving without a trace. If I stand out in the cold showers, The storm may sanitize my soul. And maybe, Just maybe... I will forget their selfish appetites.

Cliché: Right as Rain
Standing in forty-degree weather; Water threatening to change to ice. Perhaps, the rain will cleanse me, And I will feel pure. Maybe their blackened fingerprints Will fade away from my skin. The grease from their selfish palms Leaving without a trace. If I stand out in the cold showers, The storm may sanitize my soul. And maybe, Just maybe... I will forget their selfish appetites.
For myself For a past (and present) I don't share of often.
